TrentMapper |
TrentMapper is a freeware Java Applet I wrote to facilitate the creating of HTML Imagemaps
from JPEG and GIF images. I've always found the Windows and Mac programs available annoying
to install when I'm working on different computers, and always wanted some way to edit them
in-line on a page. Anyhow, here's a free one for you to use, and if you want to use it on
your web site, feel free to email me and ask about terms and
conditions. Otherwise, enjoy! (follow the link below to upload or give a link to your image)

To run TrentMapper, you'll need a java-enhanced browser that supports the JDK 1.1.5 or greater.

Struggle |
Struggle is a freeware game I wrote for my high school English class's Novel Project
(my novel was The Jungle by Upton Sinclair). Struggle is an attempt to make The Jungle
into a simulation game, and it's actually really faithful to the book. Many of the
descriptions come right out of the book, and the graphics are from Jacob Riis'
How the Other Half Lives, making the whole experience very realistic. I wrote this
back in 1997, but didn't release it until now, 3 years later. I'm not sure why I let it
back-burner this long, but here it is. Email me if you play this and have any comments
or bug reports -- as I release this, I only know of two people who have ever tried this game: me, and my english teacher, Sue Ellen Sims. (Carolina Day School, Asheville, NC)

The Mutant Chicken Races |
The Mutant Chicken Races, my ever popular first superhit. Well, make that only superhit. And it's written
in Visual Basic 3, which is the absolute worst programming environment ever written, and it's written
badly. Okay, "badly written" might not seem like something that would be different from my other software,
but man, this thing absolutely sucks in the programming department. I wrote it when I was 15 years old,
and I wrote it in less than two weeks. But for most, it's the best thing I've ever written. Go figure.
Consider it The World According to Besenhaver for me. Hopefully I'll write The Pension Grillparzer
soon.

To run the Mutant Chicken Races, you'll need Windows 3.x. I'd recommend Win9X and a sound
card. Really, the sounds and graphics are the best parts of the program. Click on the chicken to your right

TrentStitch |
TrentStitch, a piece of software I wrote to stitch bitmaps together for Sprite Animation. I spent 5 hours looking for something to do this, and wrote this in one hour.
Go figure. Takes an unlimited number of same-sized bitmaps and produces a "filmstrip" type .BMP file that has them all stitched together horizontally or vertically. 100%
freeware, more information in the readme.txt file.

you're stitching together. Click on the logo to your right

LordNet, IGMs, Utils, etc. |
Okay, so call me a bastard. I wrote about 20 Legend of the Red Dragon utilities and a couple TEOS utilities, and
bam, I dropped the ball. No support, no contact, no nothing. But I've given the source code for all of them
to the guy who's developing LORD again for Metropolis. I tried to sell all to Metropolis so I could buy a new
computer, but they screwed around with my head for a couple months, and refused to write back to me. I don't
like the guys personally. Anyway, I'd be willing to give the source to other interested parties as well --
I know, I've said this before and never came through, but that was because I thought I'd lost the source. But I
found most of it, and you can have it. Just ask.
