BUI BasicCode

Started: February 22, 2022

skills: Rust, BUI (my core gui lib), GUI framework design, cross-platform (mobile, desktop, web)

Simplified wrapper around bui for building guis without sacrificing any performance.

Won 1st place wth a perfect score at the PJAS state competition.

I'm a little bit disenchanted with this. I think there will need to be innovations (that I'm working on) in programming languges to actually achieve the ideal this project seeks.

Note: Latest update is not pushed

Micro VSRGCodeShowcase

Started: November 12, 2021; Completed: November 28, 2021

skills: Rust, microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi, dynamic parsing

A rhythm game for Raspberry Pi - specifically the Raspberry Pi 3B+. Imports 4k osu!mania maps (no hold notes). Single player (2 player may be added). I completed this project for a Raspberry Pi 3. This game is meant to be played with wheeled robots hitting the notes and sacrifices were made for that. However, it can be easily modified to fit one's requirements. The game dynamically reads and parses osu!mania (a popular and now open source rhythm game for desktop operating systems) set/map files that the user can choose from to play on startup.

skills: Rust, Rocket.rs, fullstack web, DNS, Cloudflare, web hosting, Linode, Linux, Ubuntu, Nginx, server-side rendering, web templating, Maud, Google SEO, Bing SEO, dynamic sitemap, HTML, CSS, websites

My personal website to show off projects. Has gone through many rewrites. The current version is made with Rust using the backend framework, Rocket, and the compile-time templating engine, Maud. The website is hosted on Linode and put behind a Cloudflare proxy to protect from the surprisingly common DDOS attacks. It's also behind a reverse proxy, nginx, to allow for other sites to be hosted on the same Ubuntu Linode server Gets 100% on Google Lighthouse. Previous version used NodeJS, expressJS, and a custom web framework/templator.

A real-time multiplayer pong clone made for a Repl.it competition. Instead of just playing to a score, winning a point reveals information about the other player (that they submit) so that they can get to know each other a bit. Physics calculations are done server-side to prevent cheating. Optional singleplayer is available.

Allows a single player to control multiple Kahoot "users" from an entirely separate website. Also allows keyboard controls without the use of external hotkey software so that one can answer faster on a Chromebook.

Does not work for now due to changes in Kahoot's API

Added repeat option to timer for Infinitime (open source watch firmware)PR

Started: January 9, 2022; Completed: January 9, 2022

skills: C++, firmware development, FreeRTOS software, LittleVGL

I purchased a new PineTime watch which uses the Infinitime firmware. I had previously used my own app (PebbleXCTimer) on my old Pebble Time for this function but it's not portable and the Infinitime firmware does not have the function built in or sideloading. So, I added the functionality to the timer app already built in.

Note: PR is unmerged but code is functional. They said they want it to be put into a separate app but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Added ability to view comments to LBRY Android appPR

Started: May 28, 2020; Completed: May 29, 2020

skills: Android Native, Android layouts/views, Java, REST API, mobile apps

Comments on the LBRY website were already present but they were not available on the Android app. I like to read comments so I decided I should add them to the Android app so I analyzed how their website (ReactJS) was able to get comments from the LBRY REST backend server and adapted a similar technique to make comments available on the Android app.

Note: I only included the first page of comments in my PR because I didn't see a way with their API to ensure that the comments were kept in sync (if a comment was added or removed before a user would scroll, comments may be missing or duplicated on the user's screen) without fetching all the pages at once (defeating the purpose of pagination of saving memory and bandwidth). I thought they were going to add something to their API or something but after my PR, they just went with the latter solution and fetched all the pages at once.

Made it so that one can unpublish and/or delete their own videos from LBRY Android appPR

Started: October 2, 2020; Completed: October 2, 2020

skills: Android Native, Android layouts/views, Java, REST API, mobile apps

Unpublishing and deleting videos are separate actions on the LBRY platform. However, the LBRY Android app did not make this distinction and performed both actions. So, I added another button and fixed some UI logic around it.

From AnarchyCode

Started: July 20, 2021

skills: VR app development, OpenXR, Godot, FFI, Desktop Games, Windows Games, TCP Sockets, real-time multiplayer, async software, desktop software, Windows software, Linux software

A micro voxel-world VR game. Never finished but it was a good exercise in making VR games and using Rust/FFI in game engines for optimal performance. Likely applicable to other engines like Unity and Unreal. This game would probably require a custom rendering pipeline to make performant at all so if this were to be fully developed, a custom engine would be used.
