Games I've Written

I have not written any major games, but here are a few that are playable. Most of them were written for small contests, so there's not much to see.

Rebels and Lords (2005) - My 2005 entry for the Allegro SpeedHack contest. It's simple medieval war game with a touch of strategy and luck. It's a multiplayer game that can be played on one computer or against others on the Internet.
Flash Flood (2002) - Another result of the Allegro SpeedHack contest. This PC game is a clone of a something I played on a C64.
Who Let the Blocks Out? (2001) - This was coded for a 72-hour competition called the SpeedHack. It's an unfinished PC rendition of the SNES game "Tetris Attack".
SPEED (2000) - This is a nice little game along the lines of Space Invaders that you can play right in your browser. The original game was made by Shawn Hargreaves, and I used it to learn Java.
Monopoly (1993) - As a project to teach myself how to program, I wrote a two player Monopoly clone using ASCII graphics on QBASIC.

Web Sites I've Written

I started my first website in 1998, and since then have continued to do so professionally. Most of the work I have done is for Intranets, but here are some of the publically accessible ones:

allegro.cc - An online community with over 5,000 members for the Allegro programming library. It's quite easily the largest site dedicated to Allegro and is a great place to learn how to make games! Even if you don't program, there's a load of free games to download.
bigmikesdelivers.com - I was contracted by e-Media Resources to write the shopping cart and interface with the fax ordering service for the Madison, WI based Big Mike's chain of restaurants.
emuware.com - A small site that hosts several classic emulation tools that I've written.
idobooks.net - Powered by a shopping-cart system I wrote in PHP, this is a place with a focus towards homeschooling families where inexpensive, used books can be purchased.
matthewleverton.com - You are here.
milios.com - I designed the database and programmed the backend code that interfaces with the ordering system.
