Perfecting the method,
embracing the madness.

I'm Richard. I make mobile apps, games and web apps, usually because I wanted something and couldn't find it. Things might go boom, but I promise you'll enjoy my projects until that point.

Azimuth Compass

A compass that uses your phone's camera to take a bearing, like a prismatic compass. Point it at a landmark, lock the bearing and it tells you which way to turn. Degrees or NATO mils, true or magnetic north.

Bustin' Out

Al Cologne, Tony Oregano and Von Ditto Funnybone got framed for the heist they'd been planning for years. Now they want out. Each of them moves differently, so you'll have to work out who goes where to get them out of each room. Turn-based puzzles, no ads.

About

The mad scientist

I've been coding since I was 11. I studied civil engineering, spent years in steel detailing and structural drafting, and I've run my own web agency for about 8 years. MadStoneDev is where I build my own stuff.

Azimuth started on a camping trip. A friend in the army was talking about prismatic compasses, and I couldn't find a single app that used the camera to do it. So I built one.

If you need a website or software for your business, I do that through my agency, RAVENCI Solutions.
