Mostly old projects I'm resurrecting with a little help from Claude...
Projects
A native Apple Silicon reimplementation of maxim-zhao/bmp2tile, the tool for converting images to Sega Master System tiles, maps and palettes. CLI, GUI, and Mac bundle included.
A short claymation whodunnit. Click to interact with people, work out what happened.
Many years ago when I was riddled with cancer (fine now) and taking drugs that made me crave KFC, I made a spreadsheet to work out the most chicken per money I could get. This was often cited as evidence that I am a massive nerd. When the top item (3 Piece Variety Meal) was removed from the menu, I asked Claud to make an up to date version. It did a much better job than I ever did and I'm questioning my nerd credentials. Here is the summary as a web page.
A rule-based grapheme-to-phoneme converter: type an English word, get back its ARPABET pronunciation. Beats dictionaries and AI trained solutions in the < 20 kb category by a fair margin.
Simply choosing the most common Part of Speech for every word can reach ~90% accuracy. This project achieves similar results without the need of a huge dictionary.
Uses a Hidden Markov Model and the Viterbi algorithm to find the likely sequence of tags in a sentence. Possible tags are seeded using a tiny bootstrap dictionary and guesswork. Trained on CoNLL-2000 and UD English-EWT data.
