Raptor is a program that I had to write for my Object-Oriented Programming class. It was difficult because we had to write it on a Linux server over telnet. It was supposedly a group project, but (and I'm not trying to have too great an ego here) I knew my skills and ambition would exceed that of most of my classmates. Besides, the majority of them were too busy playing World of Warcraft to write a week's worth of code. As the due date grew near and the slacker groups began to scramble to get some code done, I heard that they found my nearly finished program and were floored by my use of colors and grids (courtesy of the ncurses lib) and the fact that it actually worked. At the due date, my program was the only one completed.

The program is meant to simulate five prey and five raptors moving around a 20x20 grid. The raptors are obviously trying to eat the prey, but if they don't feed before 20 turns are up, then they will starve. The prey can see raptors in a 10x10 square around them; raptors can see infinitely horizontally, vertically, and diagonally (like a queen in chess). They all get to move in groups by one square per turn. All the prey on a square are eaten if a raptor lands on that square.

The AI is very simple. Still, for the simplicity of the rules, they do rather well. Thus, the prey will almost always get eaten in the corners. I only had time to make the prey move from multiple raptors, but they can still get sandwiched between two raptors or a raptor and a wall (I was still working on the math to avoid that). Raptors will move to the closest prey that they see and will continue in the direction they last saw a prey if it moves out of sight (unless they see another prey).

Since this program is just a skills demo and not a lot of people have a Linux machine just lying around, I provided a demo video done in DivX VBR. But the source and compiled program are also available. It needs all the standard C libraries as well as ncurses. The program has two debug command line arguments. Use /d to display prey coordinates on the info line. Use /d and /r to do the same thing but for raptors.

This one started out as another VB6 app, but after completing 25%, I converted it to VB.NET. From what I remember, I switched cause I wanted to optimize my string reading speed. Eventually, I had just continued to work out the program in .NET. So, you could say this is my learning app, but it's still quite functional. This is the first time I've used regular expressions, buffered reads, XP-themed controls, and threads, as well.

What this app does is reads local HTML (or HTML-encapsulating) files according to their file extensions and searches through them using regular expressions to find instances of fonts. It will find HTML, CSS, and script coded fonts. When it finds a font, it adds it to three different displays. The first is a list of all the fonts, their font filenames (if found), and the number of instances of that font found. The second is a tree list of fonts and the pages that use them. The third is a tree list of pages and the fonts that they use. These all have context menus with special functions like opening files and previewing fonts. You can also tweak some options like the regular expressions to use, but they've been tested extensively and should work well. The program will find an estimated 99% of the fonts and will match a non-font about 1 in 15,000 font matches (with default settings and dependent on the scope and type of files searched).

This app is mostly done, but I may add some more options or make a variation of it in the future. It requires the .NET Framework v1.1 or later, of course.

I was playing around with a sample collection one day and came up with this interesting ambient track (short as it is). Basically, it's just pretty. You'll have to hear it to understand.

A mod for PsychoStats v2 (now defunct?) that changes the color scheme to a dark blue one. It's basically just a css file mod with a different logo image, but goddamn it looks cool.
