Gladiator Simulator
The gladiator Spiculus enters the arena one last time in this text-based simulator. Armed with a sword and shield, he fights gladiator after gladiator until he is killed. The character Spiculus is inspired by one of the most famous gladiators of the 1st century AD Rome. Spiculus won many great battles and was well-known by audiences. He was particularly admired by the emperor Nero who rewarded him with palaces and riches for his heroics.

The Renewable Sonnets of William Shakespeare (Volumes 1 & 2)
The larger project is my first foray into digital poetry that uses a relatively large data set, in this case, the complete sonnets of William Shakespeare.
In Volume 1, the user has the ability to stir lines from Shakespeare’s original 154 sonnets into their “own” creation and to render a screenshot of any particular stirring by pressing the “collect the ephemera” button. The user also has the option to “defeat the ephemera” and return the text to one of Shakespeare’s originals.
In Volume 2, the user does not have the ability to stir Shakespeare’s texts into their “own” creation as the texts are generative or “self-stirring.” Instead, the user has the opportunity to “read the ephemera” by pressing the “Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die” button rendering a screenshot of any particular stirring. “Thou shouldst print more…” is the last line of Sonnet XI.
