Projects
Pan Handler
A simple pan and zoom library for projects using canvas 2D. Goal is to be as simple as possible, with optional functionality exposed through plugins. Implemented in typescript, published on NPM as @dougalg/pan-handler.
3D Snake
An implementation of the classic Snake arcade game in a 3D space. Implemented in vanilla JavaScript.
CEEM
Produced for King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, in Thailand, CEEM is a student vocabulary learning tool based on applied linguistics research focusing on technical engineering vocabulary. Includes an api written in Python as well as an interactive frontend written in JavaScript.
Type-Thai
An MacOS input method for Thai. A user can type romanized Thai, and te input method will convert it to Thai characters. This was inspired by standard Japanese input methods which use romanization. This project is no longer maintained.
