Hello, I'm Aidan "Lumen" Moran. I'm a Computer Scientist, artist of sorts, and game dev. Think my job title is "wearer of hats". Click the X icon in the top right to close this (or any) window, and use the desktop icons to navigate to different pages. Welcome to my little corner of the internet!
I'm on Medium now!
To people discover me and my writing, most (but not all) of my writing has been copied over to Medium!
Notes!
Finally made use of the 'Notes' section of my writings page, where I share short silly notes I've left to myself. I've uploaded 3 notes and a new poem (bc Sarah made me :P)

The site has been updated to a whole new style and a new URL! Welcome to interstellarshareware.net!! (A bug preventing The Stranger from working on all devices has been fixed, too!)
Minor Updates!

Two new mini-games!
Invader From Another (Spatial) Dimension (for a class) and The Stranger (for a friend) have been added to the micro games section
The Toy Box is now online!

They're currently majoring in computer science, as well as studying historical alchemy, botany, and psychoactive pharmacology outside of uni. Their work in CS started in 5th grade when they saw a video on YouTube on how to make green "Matrix" text using batch. Since then, they've grown to love CS, toying around with anything from VR headsets to Commodore 64s. Although a lover of code, they're often drawn to creative coding, story telling, and writing, occasionally making a game or two. They work as a makerspace technician, maintaining 3D printers, laser cutters, and other crafty gadgets.
