Google Voice OMS https://github.com/navarr/Google-Voice-OMS - Allows you to send Google Voice SMS through the old Outlook SMS interface.

Sockets https://github.com/navarr/Sockets - Wrapper around PHP socket classes to turn them OOP, and I don't mean like some crappy HelperClasses, I mean treating sockets as objects you read and write from.

TwCLI https://github.com/navarr/TwCLI - A browser-based twitter "command line interface." Abandoned long ago, written in PHP and fairly terrible. Not at all newish work.

Hanafuda https://github.com/navarr/Hanafuda - Hanafuda libraries in PHP for maintaining a game state for a variation of Hanafuda and Koi-Koi. Don't think I got very far

PHP-Shogi https://github.com/navarr/PHP-Shogi - Library for handling a game of Shogi in PHP (maintaining rules, enforcing game state)

Summarizing / skimming tool: http://bookshrink.com . I wanted to write a browser extension that took advantage of the tech, never got around to it. Even a nice "enter any website URL and get the text of that page summarized" would be better than the current "paste things into this text box" approach. Considered building a speed-grading tool for teachers, too. All open source at https://github.com/peterldowns/bookshri…

Very nice. I tried it against some of my blog posts and I really like the snippets it produced. What licence is the code under? I would like to take some sections of it.

I'm glad you think it's interesting! Just pushed a LICENSE file (MIT). Let me know if you build anything cool :)

SwarmCombat http://swarmcombat.herokuapp.com/ - coding strategy game inspired by swarm robotics AI. The concept hasn't been abandoned, but the existing version has been. Ideally it should allow you to face any existing bots, but right now it's designed for 1v1 matchups because one AI is really not suited to any situation.

Slice Station https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slicestati... - abandoned Android music exploration app when our provider fell through. Not going to lie, this is pretty outdated given the foundation was built in 2010 on Android 1.6. But the exploration concept is still very good and worth trying to revive.

PyKRP Engine https://github.com/keerthik/KRPEngine - A python game engine dependent on pygame targeted at rapid prototyping 2D game mechanics. Provides easy menus, game loop, screen setup, etc. Abandoned when I broke up with Python 3 years ago.

I have a couple of Unity game projects lying around on hard drives, someday I'll push them to github and share next time this Ask HN comes around...

Thank you. Have emailed you with the details of what I am doing.

https://github.com/dhagerty9009/simple-games - A set of standard board games (tic-tac-toe, Othello, etc) written in Python. Worst GUI ever, since there isn't one. They play straight up in your terminal. The last work I did on them was to port them to Python 3, so...they've been abandoned for awhile.
