	Both these projects incorporated Turing's native 256-colour palette and hence were severely limited in their ability to produce realistic images. Delos has plans to someday improve upon these using more advanced methods, and likely a better language like [[Ruby]].

A secondary component also exists that runs on start-up listing upcoming birthdays.		The programme serves primarily as a reminder for birthdays (or other annual events).

		+	== The Current Project ==
		+
		+	Delos' signature has for many months now held a counter showing his progress in what has only been named as 'Current Project'. It is unknown what the true nature of this is, though some speculate that it has to do with a revolutionary new way of rendering 4D environments in under 128kB. More likely though, it's a game made in Turing.
		+	No one knows if it will ever be released or even finished, mainly since Delos has close to no free time anymore due to his educational commitments.
