roblox ui particles02
Roblox ParticleEmitters drawn on the GUI with ImageLabels. Every particle is computed in closed form from a clock, so an effect can be paused, jumped and rewound, and the same seed always gives the same result.
roblox pool system03
An experimental pool system from 2024, in the style of 8 Ball Pool. You aim with the mouse, charge the shot with Shift and right click, and a few lines show you where the cue ball and the ball you hit are going to go.
roblox building game04
A Roblox building sandbox from late 2021. I made the tools for creating, scaling, moving, rotating, painting and deleting blocks on my own, after months of research and maths.

Rod and Reef, system by system
01
Player Data
your progress, saved and current
Everything you earn in Rod and Reef is saved to your profile, and your screen learns about every change instantly. Your progress isn't duplicated or lost when you switch servers, and you can send gifts to a friend even while they're offline.
02Luck System
the luck behind every cast
Every cast in Rod and Reef decides the fish's rarity, species, mutations and weight. Your rod, your bait, your friends, your boat and your quests change the odds, and it's all tuned so upgrading your gear is always worth it.
03Quests
530 quests across four islands
Rod and Reef has 530 quests: fishing jobs, deliveries, lost items, boat rides and a story that runs across all four islands. You can carry three at once, and the journal sorts them from easiest to hardest.
04Dialogues
talking to the islanders
The characters of Rod and Reef offer you jobs, tell you the story and sell you gear, and what they say changes with your progress. Conversations are checked on the server so nobody can use them to cheat.
05Seasons
seasons and leaderboards
45-day seasons with four leaderboards: fish, coins, experience and streak. At the end of each one, the top 50 of every board get a permanent title with their rank.
06Fishing Minigame
fighting the fish
When a fish bites in Rod and Reef, a needle and a target spin in opposite directions and you have to click as they cross. Your rod and the fish decide how hard it is, and every hit sets off a burst of particles.
07Ambient Barks
the hero talks to himself
In Rod and Reef the protagonist comments on what you do: he gets impatient waiting for a bite, complains when a fish gets away and celebrates a legendary one. 73 voiced, subtitled lines that play at the right moment and don't repeat.
08Subtitles
subtitles in time with the voice
Everything spoken in Rod and Reef is subtitled, and in the protagonist's lines each word appears exactly when it's said. The timing is worked out automatically by a program that listens to the audio with Whisper.
03
Sword Masters, system by system
01
Rounds
rounds and map vote
Every Sword Masters server runs the same loop: intermission, a vote for the next map, a countdown, the round and the rewards. PvP, zombie hunts and a boss fight all share it.
02Zombies
zombie hunts
Two Sword Masters maps are zombie hunts: waves of eight kinds of zombies, including two minibosses, that chase the nearest player, look at you as they come and punch when they get close.
03Boss
the Mountain Guardian
On Mountain Top, Sword Masters pits the whole server against the Mountain Guardian, a boss that kicks the ground, spins lasers from a platform and fills the arena with spikes.
04Abilities
seven abilities
Every Sword Masters player takes one ability into the round, from a free dash to a legendary laser. Some are instant, one charges while you hold the key, and two need you to aim.
05Dash
the starter dash
The free ability every Sword Masters player starts with: press E and shoot up to 50 studs forward, with an animation that alternates between two moves.
06Fireball
fireball
A ball of fire grows in your hand, you pick where it lands, bend the arc by dragging the mouse, and throw. It explodes against the map for 80 damage.
07Laser beam
laser beam
The legendary ability in Sword Masters: your sword shrinks, a laser comes out of your arm, and for eight seconds you sweep a beam over your enemies by turning the camera.
08Ability Shop
rotating ability shop
The Sword Masters ability shop shows three offers at a time, drawn by rarity, that change on a clock and are the same on every server.
04
Blocks Simulator, tool by tool
01
Build
placing blocks
Pick a block's type, shape, material and look in a window with a spinning 3D preview, then place it on a grid against whatever face you're pointing at.
02Scale
resizing from a face
Drag one face of a block and only that face moves. The opposite one stays put, even on rotated blocks, and the size snaps to the increment you choose.
03Move
moving along the block
Drag an arrow to slide a block along its own axes, in steps of up to 255 studs. Rotated blocks slide along themselves, not along the world.
04Rotate
turning blocks
Drag a ring to turn a block around its own axes. It snaps to 15 degrees unless you pick another increment, and the block turns in place.
05Color
painting blocks
A colour wheel with RGB, HSV and hex fields, five saved colours and an eyedropper. The outline of the block under your mouse previews the colour before you paint.

Mineros Químicos
A Roblox mining game I started in 2021 and never finished. The pickaxes are named after elements of the periodic table, and the plan was for every ore to come with a card listing its atomic number, mass and crystal structure.
