Introduction

This site is about the world of toxygen, a pseudonym I'm using since the early 1990s to sign most of my (art) work. Despite the fact, that toxygen originates from the composition of the words toxic and oxygen, it has no special meaning. Have a look around and take some time. Enjoy!

PS: I'm reworking the site design and some links may be broken. Sorry for any inconvenience...

Software & Computer Programming

Some software I've written. Please note, that the use of this software is at your own risk and restricted to private, noncommercial applications.

• TChess is a stylish front-end for playing chess games. It supports WinBoard compatible chess engines, playing over the internet (with real-time chat and speech), engine battles, game import/export (PGN & FEN format) and more. Many skins from classic to ultra fancy are included. Runs on any Windows System supporting DirectX 7 or better.
• DOoRS is a operating system developed from the scratch. Runs on most i386 based PC systems with a VESA compatible graphic card and at least 16MB of RAM. It has build in mass-storage drivers (floppy, harddisk, CD-ROM) and supports up to to 32 processor cores. Some demo applications, such as a tetris clone and a Mandelbrot renderer, are included as well. Download the ISO image, burn it on a CD-ROM and boot your computer to see for yourself.
