Here are three crazy cool windows programs that I wrote while I was still a college student. Feel free to download and enjoy them.

Brained Chess Evolution - Web 2.0 Free Edition - A program originally written for my college CSC 530 class, now updated for the web and Iphone. It is merely a two player chess game. There are no AI algorithms to allow the computer to play against you (because those things take years to develop and I wrote this program from scratch in 13 hours). However, it does keep track of all the rules, doesn't allow you to make illegal moves, and will even give you a hint as to a possible next move if you click the yellow status bar.
Elmo's Magic 8-Ball - A program to foretell your future, by that loveable Sesame Street character, Elmo. There are 10 possible answers to each question you type in, and all of them are completely customizable. "Elmo" is copyright and trademark 2000 Children's Television Workshop. All rights reserved. I only use the name and likeness because of my nickname. Program requires Windows 98, or Windows 95 with the Visual Basic 5.0 Runtime DLL's installed.
Elmo's LottoBob - A program for serious lotto players. It has two different wheeling systems. One to pick 26 games from 11 "hot" numbers, and one to pick 42 games from 12 "hot" numbers. With the first you are guaranteed to have at least one four number win if all six numbers are in your wheel, and with the other you are guaranteed to have at least one 5 number win if all six numbers are in your wheel. It even prints out the numbers in a vertical column format to make it easy to transcribe to lotto cards. I wrote it for my dad to help with the Kentucky lottery, but I'm it will work for any other 42 number pick 6 lotto. I even include the source code with this puppy so that you can customize it for your own lotto if you know VB. Requires Windows 98, or Windows 95 with the Visual Basic 5.0 Runtime DLL's installed.
