This portfolio site was built with Next.js 13 and Tailwind CSS, written in TypeScript, and uses markdown files for the blog content and project posts, which are rendered with showdown. The homepage also uses Three.js to render and make the 3D potion interactive, and the object is removed from the scene whenever someone browses to a different page that's not home.

The open source page pulls from the GitHub API for my GitHub profile's pinned repositories, and uses GraphQL / Apollo to query the data. The API calls are made at build time for the Next app (using getStaticProps), and all the web files are exported with Next after building, allowing the site to be hosted on a static server still. So if you look at the source code for this page, you'll see regular HTML with bundled CSS and JS files.

The game you're playing now was created with my open-source JavaScript library text-rpg-engine, which lets users create interactive fiction games with any type of web content displayable, driven by any type of verbal or web-based (e.g. button clicking) player interactions.

The paths / rooms inspired by the Alice in Wonderland novels were written with the help (or mostly by) ChatGPT; this is meant to showcase the powerful writing and stylistic capabilities of an LLM with the right prompt engineering and context.

The decisions of the past weigh on your mind, and you wonder if this is a chance at redemption or another descent into madness. Suddenly, the room shudders. Whispers creep into your ears, a cacophony of voices from the past, present, and perhaps even the future. Among them, you discern one voice, clear and strong, reciting: \"I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.\"

The sound of soft tapping distracts you. Turning your gaze, you notice a white rabbit with a pocket watch, looking at you impatiently. \"Oh dear! Oh dear! You'll be late!\" he says, wringing his tiny paws, which to you are gigantic, since you are still small.

There's another potion in this room, one that matches your size so it's much tinier now, and a different color. Maybe if you drink it you'll grow bigger again?

This vast corridor, seemingly sculpted from pure crystal, reflects innumerable versions of you, each slightly different, each whispering tales of what was, what could have been, and what might yet be. You're treading through the delicate filigree of your own existence, woven with threads of choices made and paths not yet explored.

As you progress, an ethereal magic takes hold. The crystalline walls seem to sense your presence, reacting with a life of their own. From the sheer expanse, two mystical patterns begin to form and etch themselves before your eyes:

1. The Oracle's Quandary: An ornate box, bathed in the glow of moonlight, materializes out of the shimmering walls. As it settles on a pedestal carved from the corridor itself, symbols dance across its surface, settling into a riddle: \"I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?\"

2. The Enigma of the Ages: From the very fabric of the corridor, a grand tapestry weaves itself into existence. Imprinted upon this celestial canvas is a challenge: \"I've witnessed empires rise and fall, held stories of the old and new, yet I'm not alive. In me, the past lingers, but the present flows right through. What am I?\"

Solving either enigma is whispered to grant an audience with the enigmatic Queen of Reflections, a being said to possess dominion over the tides of time.

The crystal corridor, once transparent and clear, now pulsates with an opalescent glow, each pulse reshaping and contorting the space around you.

The corridor shifts, spiraling you into a realm where the boundaries of reality blur. Time seems to slow, each second stretching into an eternity. The ground underfoot morphs into a shimmering pool of liquid silver.

Emerging from this kaleidoscope of existence stands a throne, reflecting both the cosmos and the minutiae of existence. Seated upon it is the Queen of Reflections, her form a fluid dance of light and shadow.

Her appearance is ever-changing: One moment a radiant being of pure luminosity, the next a shifting silhouette of enigmatic shadows. Her eyes, twin nebulas, seem to hold within them the very birth and death of stars, and her gaze is both tender and imposing.

\"You have traversed the labyrinth of existence and found your way to the heart of reflections.\" her voice, a haunting harmony of countless whispers, envelopes you. \"In acknowledgment of your journey, a gift I offer.\"

From the abyss of her robes, she brings forth three hourglasses, their sand comprised of stardust, twilight shadows, and dawn's first light. Each one pulsates with a power that resonates with the very core of your being. Which will you choose?

The Hourglass of the Past ⏳: Offering the chance to step back into any fragment of time, to relive or alter it.

The Hourglass of Stasis ⧗: A pause in the relentless march of time, capturing a singular, precious moment to bask in for eternity.

The Hourglass of Restoration ⌛: The power to heal temporal wounds, to set the fractured shards of reality into a coherent whole once more.

\"You've chosen the Hourglass of Restoration.\" she begins, voice echoing with a blend of wonder and respect. \"In a world where many would cling to cherished moments or seek to undo past regrets, you wish to mend and move forward.\"

She rises, her silhouette shimmering against a backdrop of cosmic wonders. \"To forgo the comfort of fixing your past or the allure of living a timeless moment, you have embraced a path that resonates with the very essence of time itself.\" she states, a hint of admiration lacing her words. As the hourglass, its sands flowing with the very essence of time, drifts towards you, a sense of profound connection envelops you, binding you to all that has been and all that is yet to come.

The Queen's visage starts to blur, stars and galaxies emanating from her form. \"In this chamber..\" she murmurs as her form dissipates, \"time has its own rhythm. If you so choose, you can let the ebb and flow of time circle back, letting past and future converge.\"

And as her words linger, you notice the room's unique nature. It seems to breathe, expanding and contracting, each cycle a miniature echo of time itself. If you were to wait, to truly immerse in the room's rhythm, perhaps time might loop, offering another chance at choices made and the paths they forge.
