"a whole overkill") of settings, graphics, and options
are available via the settings menu.

A range of functionality is provided with the program to help you add,

prepare for birthdays, anniversaries, and so on.
Import functionality is also provided so that you can import / load data from other
date / event reminder programs directly into Birthday and Event Reminder

Computer Space Simulator ::
v1.0 - 1,100 KB - 11-May-2005
|
Computer Space Simulator is a remake / recreation of Computer Space,
which was the very first coin-operated video arcade game and went on sale in 1971.
Only 1,500 of the machines were ever built, and of these it is estimated that less
than 500 of these machines still work / exist.
Like the vast majority of my software,
Computer Space Simulator is for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, or later.
The game play in Computer Space consists of you controlling a Rocket and
attacking and avoiding the computer controlled enemy Saucers that are trying
to shoot you or collide with you. You have an infinite number of lives, but
each game has a set time limit. The object of the game is to have a higher
score than the enemy at the end of the time limit.
This simulator supports the following modes of operation :
- Demo / Attract mode
- 1 Player Vs Saucers
- Co-Op 2 Player Against the Saucers
- Deathmatch - Player 1 Vs Player 2 (No Saucers)
A multitude of game settings and options are provided, so you can create
your own variations of the game and customise things to any required level of difficulty.
You can also share your game variations with friends via the Load / Save settings
buttons and functionality provided with the simulator.
At any time you can restore the correct / factory default settings via the "Restore" button.
See the
On-Line help
for further details.
I've entered a special One Button / One Switch version in the
Retro-Remakes
One Click programming competition.
You can download the
"One Click" version here.
Special thanks to Kevin at
Computer Space Fan
for all of his advice, testing, feedback, checking, support, and encouragement during the development of this simulator.
Oh, one more thing, make sure you visit Kevin's

Game / Sprite Engine (Prototype) ::
v0.05 - 780 KB - 10-Sep-2002
|
This prototype game is simply to allow me to develop and test
my prototype sprite engine.
This prototype game is not polished or even fully playable, and
is severely lacking in many areas :
- the sound is abysmal,
- the control system is limited to the keyboard,
- the code is largely unoptimised,
- the game is barely playable,
- the sprites are low quality and each only has a few frames of animation,
- the background is a simple single scrolling bitmap,
- the collision detection is not satisfactory,
- etc
However, it serves as a basis upon which I can further develop my
game and sprite engines.
As far as I can determine, it is the first computer game to feature aliens
attacking over a steaming bowl of pasta !! ;))
Anyway, check it out if you like .... ;)

Program Code Auditor ::
v2.0f - 260 KB - 14-Sep-2007
|
Program Code Auditor is a tool specially designed for programmers
or the managers of programmers or the teachers of programming students
to analyse the program code that has been written, and
see how many lines of code there are and how much white
space and comments there are in the code.
The program produces a summary of all source files
audited. All of this information is written to a report that
you can copy to the Window's Clipboard, print, or save it to disk.
Built into this program is support for 17 programming languages
such as Delphi / Pascal, C / C++, Java, HTML, COBOL, Fortran, etc.
There is also an option for you to specify the
comment start and end delimiters, etc, and this should make
Program Code Auditor work with any programming language !!

RAM / Swapfile Monitor ::
v4.8f - 270 KB - 14-Sep-2007
|
*** Please Note: This program is ONLY for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
It does NOT work with Windows Vista or (most likely) versions of Windows after Windows Vista.
RAM / SWAP Monitor
displays details and graphs
of the Physical RAM and SWAPfile (Page file) usage,
the free / used space on a selected Disk Drive,
and the CPU and Average CPU usage on your PC.
The program also contains Mouse Odometer functionality.
i.e. it can display the number of left / right mouse botton
clicks and/or the distance the mouse pointer has travelled in Km or Miles.
Also, the program contains a CPU Usage Drop Adviser
(which is great for knowing when your PC has finished a big job -
like virus checking your PC, defragmenting the harddrive, etc).
i.e. RAM / SWAP Monitor contains functionality to make the
PC's Speaker Beep or make some sound whenever the CPU usage
drops below a user specified level for a user specified number of
seconds. This could come in handy for telling you when a big
job has ended, such as a Virus Scan, Disk Scan, Disk Defragment,
CD Burning, etc. This functionality is available under the
"Make PC Speaker Beep when CPU Usage Next Drops" menu option,
under the "File" menu.
See the Screen Shot for an example
of this functionality.
(I use this functionality all the time, so I can watch TV or do something else,
and my PC will beep and tell me when it has finised the job !!).
If your PC contains multiple CPUs, then the average CPU usage
across all CPUs is displayed. (In the future, or if anyone wants this,
then I could add in a seperate usage graph for each CPU).
*** Please Note: This program is ONLY for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
It does NOT work with Windows Vista or (most likely) versions of Windows after Windows Vista.

Robot Simulator::
v1.0f - 990 KB - 14-Sep-2007
|
Robot Simulator allows you to simulate and control
your own virtual robot(s) on screen - aka Leggo
Mind Storms robots, but without the flat batteries
or the other hassles.
By using a simple command language (called RoboSlang),
you can control your virtual robots on screen, to make
them move around, dance, follow lines, and explore
their virtual world.
This program has been in "on again / off again" development for over
12 months now, and I have put an enormous amount of effort into this program.
Robot Simulator
and another program of mine,
Solar System Simulator
, were
demonstrated and show cased on a big projection screen
before current and prospective students, staff, and the general public all day
during
Central Queensland University's 2004 Open Day
in Rockhampton, Australia, on August 3, 2004. (I am a teacher, tutor, and marker at this university).
Included with the program (after installation) are sample scripts, a
sample robot, a selection of background images, a full on-line help, and
a RoboSlang script reference manual with loads of examples.

ROM Clone Zip Manager ::
v1.3 - 450 KB - 3-Nov-2003
|
ROM Clone Zip Manager
could be a very useful program for people who use the
Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME).
ROM Clone Zip Manager can delete redundant / duplicate files
from inside Clone ROM ZIPs.
That is, ROM Clone Zip Manager scans your Clone ROM ZIP files
(in all directories you specify) and compares each file
inside these against the files inside the Parent ROM ZIP
file, and if an identical file is found (with the same
name and CRC) then it is deleted from the Clone ROM ZIP file.
In adition, you can backup the files (and extract them to
another directory) before they are deleted from inside the
Clone ROM ZIP file.
ROM Clone Zip Manager also enables you to move all Clone ZIP
files to another directory of your choice.
I wrote this program and ran it against my MAME ZIP files,
and, in less than 2 minutes, it had saved me a whopping 191 MB
of disk space !

ROM ZIP Differences Manager ::
v1.1 - 460 KB - 20-Nov-2002
|
ROM ZIP Differences Manager
could be a very useful program for people who use the
Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME).
ROM ZIP Differences Manager can :
- automatically extract the files that are different between all
changed ROM sets, and,
- automatically apply these differences to existing ROM sets.
This means that you can extract all ROM ZIP differences with a few
mouse clicks and within seconds / minutes (depending on files sizes).
And, this also means that you can use and apply all differences to update
your ROMS with a few mouse clicks and have all your ROMs updated
within seconds / minutes (depending on files sizes).
This should help with what was previously a nightmarish, manual job of
using "Fix Files" to update your existing ROM sets.

Sanitize Disk Space ::
v2.0f - 260 KB - 14-Sep-2007
|
Sanitize Disk Space enables you to select any drive on your PC,
such as a floppy disk or any of your harddrives or harddrive partitions,
and then sanitize the free / unused space on this drive.
The following sanitization levels are supported by this program :
- Basic / Quick
- Medium
- High
- Industrial Strength
- Department of Defense
- You've Got to be Joking
Once sanitized (at the highest sanitization level), the data in your
deleted files can never again be recovered, and no hacker - no
matter how clever - should ever be able to view any data contained
in your deleted files.
This processing should be highly desirable for anyone who is
selling or replacing their PC - especially if the PC contained
any sensitive or personal or confidential data.

Spam Analysis Tool ::
v1.0 - 280 KB - 3-Dec-2003
|
Spam Analysis Tool is especially designed for use by Mail System
Administrators, or anyone else who runs an email server or
wants to block spam / junk emails.
SPAM (i.e unsolicited junk email) is a rotten scurge that is
annoying millions of internet users and causing all sorts of
havoc due to clogged mail boxes and clogged servers, not to mention
the nasty payloads (viruses, trojans, etc) that many spam emails
contain.
Most email clients (such as Outlook) allow you to save emails
to your harddisk with the headers intact. e.g. in Outlook,
simply drag and drop the spam emails to a directory on your
harddisk. (Do not open them or run any programs they contain).
Once saved to your harddrive with the email headers intact, these
spam emails can be analysed so that their real source can be
identified, and then all emails from this source can be blocked
in the future. Doing this will help reduce the volumes of
spam that you receive in the future.
Spam Analysis Tool enables you to :
- Step through directories full of spam email,
- View just the email headers or the entire email,
- View each spam email's contents with colour coding
- Select text (such as IP addresses, email addresses, etc)
at the click of the mouse button, and add these to a list
of unique items (which can be incorporated into a block file),
- And do various other things.
If this program is of interest to you, then check out another

provides some very useful searching and word list
maintenance functionality and is especially suited
to people who like playing scrabble, or doing
crosswords, or anyone who needs to look up words
or use words in other ways. Below you can download
a selection of massive word lists containing up to 263,535 words
which include all words used by tournament scrabble players.
There are a bunch of word lists below, and you can download and
use whichever one suits your needs the best :
- YAWL Scrabble Tournament List of 263,535 Words (681 KB).
This list contains many strange words that you will not
find in any English dictionary, and while this list is
massive, I did not completely like some of the words
it contains.
For example, it contains 57 words containing a Q without a U.
I believe that using this word list could cause some
rolling eyes, clicking toungues, and/or arguments in a game
of scrabble ... ;)
But, the choice is yours, check out this word list and see if you like it.
For
more information
about this word list, please click
here.
- ENABLE Scrabble Tournament List of 173,528 Words (455 KB).
This list seems a lot more reasonable than the above YAWL list
and mostly contains words that you will find in any English dictionary.
For
more information
about this word list, please click

- Interociter Scrabble Tournament List of 109,582 Words (290 KB).
This list seems even more reasonable than the above ENABLE list
and contains words that you will find in any English dictionary.
For
more information
about this word list, please click

To install one of the above word lists, download the ZIP file containing the word list,
and simply unzip the contents of the ZIP file to the same directory as
you installed Words Worth - Crossword and Scrabble Companion.
Words Worth : 1982 Apple 2 version
The basic list of 938 words was actually extracted from the disk of
my original Apple 2 version of Words Worth - Crossword and
Scrabble Companion - a program that I wrote way back in 1982.
So, this word list data file now spans generations of computers,
generations of operating systems, and more than 20 years
of time. Pretty cool hey !
Now, you can download the original Apple 2 version, download my Apple 2 BASIC Source Code,
download my original Apple 2 Word List, view screen shots,
and even run the original Apple 2 version under emulation right on your own PC.
