hello

hi, i'm black goat - you might know me as Niklas.

this place is where I put my silly experiments and other projects - mostly in the realm of web stuff.

if you're here for srs bsns, you might wanna check my "official" page instead.

if you have an idea for a silly shitpost, or possibly something actually useful, hmu!

thank you so much for visiting in the first place. if you're looking around, why not take a look at my projects?

career

my career (so far...)

  • Currently back at ALU for my next degree

projects

most of my recent projects end up being stuff created on GitHub, so that's your best bet on seeing what absolute buffoonery I am up to right now.

recent and cool stuff

  • eventBasedTracer, the base framework for an extendable javascript-tracer based off of jalangi2 and my bachelor's thesis!
  • luckycolors, a tiny discord bot for a friend that manages color roles for gambling
  • The hunter's call eggtimer, in case you gotta burn some fish in Sea of Thieves
  • stalnks, a small discord bot for ACNH turnips
  • the first and second OneShot Discord ARG
  • Solstice, a customizable recreation of the OneShot countdown door
  • Kult, an Unus Annus themed date countdown made for some friends (hence the silly name)
  • Timer Customizer 9000, a helper for Solstice and Kult to make custom targets more easily
  • Undertale Color Maze 2.0, a recreation of the color maze from Undertale

writeups

in lieu of a blog, here's some writeups i've made that may come in handy for you

  • my favorite videogames in case you need more stuff to put on your backlog
  • a terrible guide to online safety by an unprofessional nerd

the archives

here be dragons (and even worse code, this is from like 2017 and before!)

  • LEL, INTERNET EXPLORER - a throwback to simpler times, where making fun of IE was still in
  • jeopardy clone, a terrible attempt at making a custom jeopardy board
  • carpe diem - for that brief 14-and-this-is-deep moment to see how much time you've lost in the day
  • css solar system - a technically speed-accurate representation of orbits using css
  • advent of code 2016 - the first ever advent of code I dared to start

on little cat feet!

This entire website is a hommage to the absolutely wonderful game OneShot, created by Future Cat LLC. Specifically, this is an attempt of a simple recreation of the World Machine Edition.

The iconography and background image also is sprite work from the game.

If you haven't noticed, I absolutely adore this game. Please, support the devs by playing their game, and supporting them on their future games - I've heard a new one is in the works!

the artist deer

The sprite of me found on the hello page was made by the wonderful Frigadae - please, go check them out and send them all the love you can. They are absolutely wonderful, and I cannot thank them enough.

socials

I don't really do social media, I fundamentally dislike what it represents. I have accounts mostly out of necessity, and I really don't post there.

The only thing I might actually dust off is Mastodon.
