I made an online sailing navigation simulator (https://8bitbyte.ca/sailnavsim/ https://8bitbyte.ca/sailnavsim/). Originally it was just to "scratch a few itches" at the time, but I've found I keep coming back from time to time to make more changes and add little things here and there whenever I have some ideas: dealing with interesting data sets (geographical, meteorological), different programming languages (I've added some Go and Rust since originally starting), computer performance experiments, and so on. And being able to participate in virtual sailing races with others has also been a nice bonus that I never anticipated when first starting this project.
Some light technical details and links to much of the project's code can be found here: https://8bitbyte.ca/sailnavsim/code.html https://8bitbyte.ca/sailnavsim/code.html
