A blog about JavaScript and pixel art.
My creative block is over and all of my creativity is going into developing Aliasing.Pro Version 6. I decided against continuing updating Version 5, and I’m totally overhalling the whole codebase to be faster, cleaner, and more scalable. At my current rate, I’ll have Version 6 launched in a matter of weeks rather than months. […]
I have been wanting to replace the logo for Aliasing.Pro for some time now. The frog is not unique or descriptive for my kind of project. My wife suggested a color palette with a paint brush. I thought it would be ideal for the logo to be made with pixel art. It took a bit […]
I have been taking a break from working on the project because it seems unwise to start coding a refactor as big as version 6 without having clear user stories in mind. I got a bit carried away with the plans to have the entire engine be tile based. I still want to make the […]
I’m making progress on version 6! The three new project modes are low-res 128×80, mid-res 256×160, and high-res 384×240. Low-res and mid-res projects use 8×8 tiles, while high-res tiles are 12×12.

I have been working on a Aliasing.Pro since October of 2023 called and version 5 is close to what I had in mind for the app from its conception. The goal for version 6 is to be able to export animated GIFs with retro aesthetics that can be shared in a gallery. One feature I […]
When I made this website, I intended for it to be a simple portfolio. I have been working on Losing Is Fun since 2017, and Aliasing.Pro since October of 2023, but have had basically no following because I haven’t put myself out there online. I think now is the time to start using this site […]
Aliasing.Pro is now on version 5 which adds advanced guide layers, the ability to make selections using canvases and color swatches, an improved dashboard, and more! You can also use shift, alt, and ctrl for tools from the toolbar even when yo don’t have a keyboard! Check out the new guide and video tutorial!
Aliasing.Pro is a web app I am developing which is for making pixel art using 32 color palettes. I had the idea for starting the project when working on Losing is Fun. Up until now I have used Photoshop to make the panels and I have to change many of the settings to prevent anti-aliasing. […]
I have been working on a video game spin off that will continue one of the storylines of my comic. The characters are about to enter a dungeon in a pyramid so I thought, “Why not make it a video game? Homestuck did it!” Homestuck never had much gameplay in it’s games. I wanted something […]
