An implementation of the Recursive Backtracker maze generation algorithm in Erlang
-module(maze).
-export([generate/2,north/3,south/3,west/3,east/3,visualize/1]).
% Generate and return a maze of width W and height H.
generate(W,H) -> try_directions(random:uniform(W)-1, random:uniform(H)-1, directions(), {width,W,height,H,0}).
% Returns true if there is a passage north from the given position in the maze.
north(X,Y,Maze) -> at(X,Y,Maze) band 2#1 =/= 0.
% Returns true if there is a passage south from the given position in the maze.

A trivial HTTP proxy server for testing and troubleshooting
# This is a trivial HTTP proxy server, intended for use as a troubleshooting tool
# ONLY (not for real, actual, production use). I wrote this because I couldn't find
# a simple HTTP proxy that I could use to test HTTP proxy support in Net::SSH.

A basic substitution-cipher puzzle generator. Uses Prawn (0.5 or later) for PDF output. Sample output: http://www.jamisbuck.org/files/codes.pdf
# Generates a series of substitution cipher puzzles. The messages to
# "encrypt" are take from a text file passed on the command-line,
# where each message is on one line.
#
# The output is a PDF, "codes.pdf".
#
# This was written for my 7 year-old, who loves doing substitution
# ciphers.

Quickly look up Rails translation strings
" Lets you quickly find translation strings. Position your cursor over a translation
" key, type '<leader>rt' (whatever your leader character is configured to be, usually
" backslash, but I have mine set to comma) and the screen will split to show the
" corresponding translation string in config/locales/en.yml.
"
" Right now, this only supports en.yml, and does not search any other locations.
" Also, error handling is abysmal. :) But it does what I need. If you hack it up
" and make it better, let me know!
" MatchPatternAtCursor lifted (and renamed) from rails.vim, thanks tpope! :)
