atchoo.org

atchoo.org is the personal website of Roger Light. It's mostly a store house for my programs but there are some other bits as well like tutorials, stories and other odd sods.

gds2pov

I work designing Integrated Circuits (ie. chips). I thought it would be nice to be able to visualise my designs in 3D, so I wrote gds2pov which converts the standard IC layout file into a POV-Ray scene description file that can be rendered into a nice looking 3D picture.

You can find more information about gds2pov here - it is most likely of interest to other IC designers or people wanting to see a few pictures of IC designs.

DynMenu

DynMenu is a utility for creating dynamic popup menus. The user creates a menu to do whatever they want out of running programs, opening files and opening folders. The menu is saved to an XML-esque file which can be double clicked to execute the menu.

The menu can be added to the system tray with an icon of the users choice.

Possible uses: Specialised Favourites list, grouping programs together in an easy to access place. I'm sure that there are many other uses - see the readme file for what I use it for specifically.

Scorpion Cards

Scorpion is a patience card game that an Aunt of mine introduced me to. She claimed that it can be completed about one in fifty times, on average. I decided to try and see if this claim was true - I had a sheet of paper that I recorded my results on. When I became able, I wrote a version of scorpion for msdos - it saved me setting the cards up and recorded my results too. It was a bit awkward until I implemented mouse control and even then it wasn't exactly great so I started work on a windows version which has grown slowly into a very nice program.
