WinampRING v1.0

The Plugin
Were you ever listening to music really loud and missed a phone call because of it? This plugin for Winamp will turn down the volume when the phone rings. It has many customizable features such as changing Windows' volume instead of Winamp's, having a popup message telling you that the phone is ringing, and pausing or stopping Winamp instead of changing the volume. No more missed phone calls!
Comments
I originally wrote this in Visual Basic, but it wasn't working properly on some machines since Winamp plugins are really supposed to be written in C/C++. So, I scrapped my VB code, and wrote it in C instead, though I hadn't ever written anything more than a "Hello World" application in C before. It was a good learning experience for sure.

GabeMan Tetris v1.50

The Game
It's pretty much like normal Tetris. It has customizable controls with two player capability. There is also a Death Match mode when playing with 2 players which will allow you to add lines to the other person. It has high scores too so you can have an on-going competition. :)

I made this in about 3 weeks in school as a project for my computer class. It was quite a hit with my class, except most of them didn't even know that I made it. But now they do! Compiled September 24, 2004.

Paintball Extreme

The Game
A two player only game. You are (supposed to be) playing capture the flag with men carrying paintball guns. This game is not entirely completed (no capture the flag), however it is working.
Comments
Most of the recognition for this game should go to Sasha Vukelich, as he was my partner in this project. Actually, making a paintball game was his idea. Although I did most of the programming, I couldn't have done anything without his excellent graphics skills. We did this as our OAC (grade 13) programming assignment.
The maps can also be changed, but I have not made a map editor. They can be made in a hex editor, as we did. If anyone really wants to make a map for it, ask me and I will tell you the format of the map file.

Music

On My Own
This is one of my own inspired by, well, life working for me, which doesn't always happen. This is a little bit better of a recording, but still not the best.

Broken Mind
This song is one of my own inspired by a good friend of mine. This is the first song of mine that I have recorded. But, this is a very rough recording. I did this with just a standard computer microphone, and in one take. I might redo it one of these days. But enjoy, and please, tell me what you think.

Storm
This song is written by Lifehouse, when they were known as Blyss. It's an incredible song. This was done with my new guitar. I threw in my own (experimental) backup vocals in the chorus just for kicks.
