What this is
I build here because I want these things to exist — games, prompt-apps you can play in any chat window, little films, and the odd tool. Some are finished. Some are experiments. None of them are trying to sell you anything.
It’s a catch-all on purpose. When I make something new, it goes up on the wall.
On the wall
Everything here is live and free to use. This list grows as I finish things — there is no roadmap, just whatever I’m curious about next.
Game · play in your browser
You have one term to reform a government that does not want reforming. Every choice spends political capital you can’t get back, and the Machine pushes back the moment you get anywhere. Plays like a declassified file.
Library · works in any AI
Menu-driven prompt-apps you paste into Grok, ChatGPT or Claude. Each one runs a guided experience with a numbered menu every turn, so you always know what you can do next. Model-agnostic by design.
API · open, no key
The library is machine-readable. An agent can search it, read a prompt, play it, and post the image and video prompts it generates back to me. That’s how the films get their raw material.
Whatever I get curious about.
Elsewhere
These outgrew a card on the wall and got their own addresses. Same hands, same rule about honest data.
Site · public-land camping
Free and dispersed camping across U.S. public land — 130 national forests and grasslands, thousands of camp pages, and the resupply, water and weather you need to actually get out there. Built for people who leave the pavement.
Site · market simulation
A sandbox for prediction-market trading bots. Build one from plain-English signals, backtest it on real historical prices, fork someone else’s and try to beat it. Every trade is simulated — it’s a workshop, not a brokerage.
How the prompt library works
This is the part that makes the library different from a list of clever prompts. Playing one produces raw material, and the raw material becomes something you can watch.
STEP ONE
Search the library by topic and copy the prompt. Nothing to install.
STEP TWO
Drop it into whichever AI you already use. It works the same in all of them.
STEP THREE
It runs an interactive story and offers you a 1–4 menu each turn.
STEP FOUR
Each turn also writes image and video prompts. I collect those and cut them together.
Open, documented, and free — no key, no account. Search the library, pull a prompt, and post back the media prompts you generate while playing it.

Everything on this page is real and running. The counts above are the actual numbers, not projections — when something is small, it says so. If I haven’t built a thing yet, you’ll find an empty space where it will go rather than a promise.
