Software by Nick Walker
Games, learning tools and data software, with pictures of each. Most of it is open source.
I'm Nick Walker. I design and build software in Australia. Most of it is data tooling. The rest is personal and educational projects: games, puzzles and tools for learning.
Pick an app to see its screens. Where you can try one, its page has a button to play it or download it. You never need to read any code. Each app says whether it is open source, which means you may fork it, build it and change it, or copyright, which means you may use it and the source stays mine.
