Side Projects
Created a 1:1 map of the map from the Pokémon Fire Red game. Generated the map by reading all the tiles, and map data straight from the ROM. Fun little project to learn all about rendering on the GBA and how maps are stored.
Created a terminal client for Mac OS X that used native UI elements, like a text box to enter your commands, and each command's output displayed individually. Its most impressive technical feature was the ability to run multiple commands at once, and letting you switch between them.
Inspired by a prototype from Rahul Mahtani and Yofred Moik, I built a simple web app that would create envelopes showing the path your letter would eventually take. All the directions and tile data were pulled from Google Maps. The first example is Toronto to Montreal and the second is Barcelona to London.
I sent a few out to friends and they all actually worked as envelopes!
