HamCentre

HamCentre

A small hub for the games I build on evenings and weekends. Five so far: a few classics, done properly, and a couple of my own.

Every game is one web page. Free, English or French, nothing to install, no accounts, no ads, no timer telling you to buy more moves.

Games

5 playable

The familiar ones

Games you already know how to play. Big readable pieces, a hint when you want one, and they pick up where you left off.

Mahjong

Ready to play

Tile matching solitaire

Clear the board by matching free pairs of tiles. Three layouts: the classic 144-tile turtle, a 116-tile pyramid, and a 46-tile quick game for when you have ten minutes. Hint, undo and shuffle are there when a board gets stuck, and a big-tile mode makes everything easier to see.

Klondike, the one everybody plays

Made here

Games that didn't exist before. Rougher edges, and the rules are still moving.

Deep Delve

In testing

Match-three mining

Match ore to dig deeper, chain combos for wood, stone and obsidian, and trade them up for better pickaxes and gear. What you don't spend goes into building a small city that pays you back every run. Built for one thumb on a phone.

Fort Run

Prototype

Dice board game

Four heroes, ten troops each, one lap around the board and a fort in the middle worth fighting over. You roll to move, but combat is settled by your gear, not by luck. Get all four tokens home to win.

Scores stay on your device for now. Each game keeps your own best. A shared board, and a daily streak that counts across the whole hub, are next on the list.

Work tools

Not open yet

Games are the hobby half. The other half is software for window and door manufacturing — the kind of thing that runs on a shop floor every day: quoting, cutting lists, production tracking, shipping.

Those tools are getting their own site and their own front page. When they're ready to sell, the links will show up here.

Quoting

Price windows and patio doors from real dimensions and options, with a printable quote at the end.

Production

Track what's cut, assembled and glazed, live, on any screen in the plant.

Shop calculators

The small ones: bar packing, bay and bow angles, frame cut lengths, material needs.

If you run a shop and any of that sounds like your Monday, the site will be worth a bookmark.
