A collection of utility programs

projecteuler

No answers to the problems themselves, but some things that are useful for many of the problems.

treasurehunt

A small template for making treasure hunts!

A treasure hunt of this style goes like this:

1. The user finds a clue somewhere in the real world, with a link.
2. The link takes them to the first html page of the hunt, that has a riddle on it!
3. They solve the riddle, type in the answer, and get a clue for an object in the real world
4. They go looking for the next real-world item, which comes with another link...

A decent collection of error messages is included for wrong answers.

baseconv

A single html page (with inline javascript) that allows the user to convert a positive integer between any (positive) bases with arbitrary precision and pretty good performance.

wordmaker trigram

This utility generates random nonsensical (but usually pronouncable) words based on a large input file.

Project Gutenberg provides excellent source material.
