Mediawiki-Usage/Changes Storage and Visualizations

A coworker and I have been doing some work on visualizations of wiki updates. The server-side code, written in Ruby, stores changes from a media-wiki feed. I got a chance to use the Google Visualization API, which is really simple and useful for a wide variety of domains. He also turned me on to HAML, […]

Bubble Breaker Using Canvas!

I wanted to try out some canvas element functionality, given that I have a feeling it will steal a lot of Flash’s thunder. I whipped up a bubble-breaker game (the mechanic should be very familiar to you) in a few hours. Enjoy the demo! I may do a quick write up at a later point. […]

I have updated the Google Code repository with updates to integrate GraphViz. It expects the PEAR GraphViz package to be installed. To install it, issue command: If you’d rather not mess with PEAR, download the package, extract the class Image_GraphViz, and alter two two lines of code that depend on the PEAR::System package. It should […]

Graphiz Problem!

I planned to use the PEAR library for GraphViz (Image_GraphViz) and I wrote a function using the class it provides. I run the procedure and […]

Tron Bot

I spent a few hours cooking up an entry for this Tron Bot AI Competition. The starter packages they provided made it really easy to enter. I created an entry in python. The competition page is: //csclub.uwaterloo.ca/contest/ The strategy for my bot: I tried to implement painter’s flood fill per Wikipedia. This worked okay and […]

Stikker

Some coworkers and I have been working on Stikker, a cli interface for the Stikked FOSS php pastebin. I haven’t used it for awhile, but we recently set it up at work to facilitate code sharing. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been updated recently and there are some things which are broken which I’ll need to address. […]

Thirteen (Java)

I wrote this Java application for our CS GUI class. The class was pretty easy, but probably because I had been doing GUI-based programming since my last co-op at Duane Morris programming with Delphi. To see the program in action without downloading the file, see the videos below: ~1 min, Full Annotations ~20sec, No annotations […]
