PolyTrack

2022-12-20

PolyTrack is a low-poly racing game with loops, jumps and high speeds, where every millisecond counts. The game is heavily inspired by TrackMania, where you race against the clock to improve your time on different tracks.

The game includes a level editor where you can create tracks, which you can then export and share with others.

Krossa 1.02.6 & DustSim 1.03.1

2022-07-07

Fixed: Query string parameters not working since document.domain has been deprecated

New website design

2022-07-03

My website is more than 5 years old now, so it was certainly time for a refresh. The new design uses a purple dark theme instead of the old very bright white and orange theme.

I also have a new logo which is a bit more distinct than a plain orange square!

The biggest reason for the redesign wasn't actually to just make it look nicer, but with my old website it was a bit cumbersome to add new projects and blog posts. For example, when I wanted to add a new project on my old website, I had to add code at 7 different places across the website, but now with my new website all I have to do is drag in a folder and PHP takes care of the rest.

If you find any problems with the new design you can message me on Twitter or email me.
