I build things.
Then I make them fun.
I'm Ernest Turner, a software developer building interactive projects, games, and useful little pieces of software. This site is part portfolio, part playground.

01 / About
A developer returning to the keyboard.
I earned a BS in Software and Mobile App Development in 2017 and worked professionally as a programmer through 2019. I'm rebuilding my modern toolkit by doing what I enjoy most: making things.
I like software that has an idea behind it—especially games, interactive tools, and projects where engineering and creativity collide.

02 / Work
Things worth clicking.
Finished projects, playable experiments, and preserved work that show how my ideas have evolved.
Shadowcast Depths
My original console roguelike, preserved as a working legacy project. It features sprawling procedural dungeons, pathfinding monster AI, turn-based combat, progression, and recursive-shadowcasting field of view.
Starfall: Last Light
A compact browser survival game: move, aim, fire, survive. Built as a tiny proof that an idea can go from zero to playable.
Play Starfall →Personal Playground
This site itself is a project: responsive UI, animation, centralized content, and a game running directly in the browser.
Small ideas, finished
A place for tools, prototypes, automation experiments, and other small software that demonstrates how you think.
03 / Arcade
Moon Snail
Five random ingredients. One hungry moon. An umbrella-wielding snail catches hostile marshmallows in soap bubbles. Feed 30 and survive.
Click the game to focus it. WASD / arrows to move; hold Space for the umbrella and release to refill soap. P pauses. Best scores stay on this device.
