Over the years, I've created several small applications that might be useful to other people.
Many of them have been lost due to carelessness, but not anymore! I hereby name this web page
my personal dustbin. It is on this page that I will store the various things I create. I'll try to
only include things that are functional (and maybe even work), but I won't make any promises. Use the
applications below at your own risk.
QSize Image Resizer
This is a program that integrates with the windows shell, so that you can right click on images
and resize them. You can even resize multiple images at once by ctrl-clicking, or shift-selecting.
It's simple to use, and I've even made an installer for it.
Gravinoid
Gravinoid is a 3d game development project. Like so many other games of its' genre, it was a learning tool for
Geoff and I. Even so, I think it's quite fun and I still like to mess around
with it every now and then. The big difference between this game and other breakout style games, is that the
velocity of the mouse is taken into account, and not just where the ball hits. So the faster you move the mouse,
the harder you hit the ball.
Unfortunately, we never "finished" the game. There are outstanding bugs, and polish issues that never received attention. Even worse, we appear to have lost a decent amount of the newer code, so some of the improvements we did make have disappeared. One of the biggest known issues is that the game will not render properly on low-end video cards. I keep thinking that I will go back and fix some of these issues, but we have moved onto a new game and fixing up Gravinoid is really second priority.
Othello
Othello is the result of an independant study I did while I was at USF. I needed an extra course one summer,
so I convinced Matt Murrell to join me under Dr Albrecht's supervision for a fun-filled semester of compilier
design. We actually got further than I expected us to, and Othello ended up having more features than I could
have hoped for. A document describing Othello in more detail can be found here.
