Greatest Hits '87-'99

Everything on this page was written for the Amiga, a brilliant but largely forgotten computer that is neither a PC nor a Macintosh.

I've added sample videos courtesy of YouTube. Of course, the charm of the actual programs is that they're different every time.

A Season in RAM is a poetry generator inspired by the works of Arthur Rimbaud. The ReadMe file goes into more detail about him. Here's nine and a half minutes of the program generating poems and reciting them in the Amiga's inimitable Eastern European robot voice. In the unlikely event that you actually have an Amiga, you can download SeasonInRAM.lha (99k).

Picture Garden is a collage generator. It creates and displays a new picture every three seconds. Amiga users may download PictureGarden.lha (80k). For everyone else, here's a minute-long sample video with added music.

Here are some Picture Garden stills:



Steve Headroom is a random talking head, a 1993 forerunner of Uncle Weevy. SteveHR.lha (1.03 MB) requires an Amiga with 2 megs of chip ram.


Lip Sync Lab helps you make your characters talk. It was originally a tool for AMOS programmers, and that version is still available on Aminet. There's now also a Windows version on my Dark Basic page.
