Selected Web Sites and Applications by HugeTiger.com
My web site design style is to make it easy for the browser to find what they are looking
for with Maximum readability.
All these Web Sites are designed on an 800 by 600 pixel monitor where the
browser window is maximized. They look different but still good on a higher
resolution monitor. This technique avoids annoying horizontal scrolling.
Click on the screen shots to go to the actual web sites. Attention to detail
and comprehensive testing is what makes a great web site. Let us build one for
you.
Web Design rates are $45.00 / hour, or $10.00 / hour for non-profit

Java script driven Black Jack game supports insurance,
doubling and splits. The bet is always 20. You start at zero and can go as
low as -500 where the game ends. It is difficult to get above 500. Following
a strategy as suggested from the hints link does indeed help. The game is
mathematically fair (You can look at the source code just to be sure.) and
demonstrates that the house does have an advantage. This game convinced me
not to play for real money. |

The classic Tetris game written as a Java Applet. The higher
your score gets the faster the shapes drop down. If you can score higher
than 1000 your are playing really well. It is more difficult but not
impossible to view the source code for this game. Both games run on the
client in the browser and demonstrate the high level of user interaction
possible on a properly constructed web page. |
