Personal Space
Independent agents try to keep their personal space. A first experiment with CoffeeScript. I likey.
Well Howdy!
Welcome to SpoddyCoder, I’m Paul a web developer from the beautiful city of Bath in the UK. Here you will find experiments, opinions, tutorials, music, physics, fun and other expressions of happiness.
I love playing. Plato, at the very start of our journey into studied thinking, recognised the importance of play and how it should never be divorced from the serious. Play can help us understand the world, improve our personal health and enriches our relationships with others.
You will find a lot of play on this website and as such almost nothing is ever finished here. It merely represents a desire to understand, learn, grow and most importantly have fun. Enjoy playing with the toys.

Mass
Newtons law of gravitational attraction is at the heart of this romp through mad solar systems. Boasts saved replays, multiplayer gaming and even a level editor.
Curling
A suprisingly accurate model of the superb game of curling, including the free guard rule. Look out for this getting a revisit in the run up to the 2014 Winter Olympics.
