Simon's puzzles are all really well done, and run in the browser, OS X, Linux and Windows. The code base is very cleanly written C and he has extensive developer documentation: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/devel/

He is also the person behind PuTTY.

I thought I recognised that name from somewhere. I once had to hack the PuTTY sources for an internal project and it was quite an enjoyable experience due to how cleanly written the code was. I was always a fan of PuTTY but I'd gained a new appreciation for it that day.

Love it when two such unrelated things are the same person. Like the antivirus guy Graham Cluley who wrote a tetris clone with a spreadsheet program built in I got obsessed with as a kid
