School Projects

This is a sample list of some of the projects I worked on at at my alma mater ACU:
  • Adventure Game - In OOP I worked on a team with Lauran and Landon to build an adventure game.
    C++
  • Lua Design Studio - In OOD we had a team project in which we could build or re design something using design patterns. I worked with Justin, Matt and Landon to create a GUI interface in Netbeans for placing buttons and text. The program could then export the buttons and text into LUA for Corona Labs.
    JAVALUA
  • DHT - In distributed computing, we had a project in which we had to build a distributed hash table. We were given parts of the constitution and each node in the network was supposed to take care of different parts of the constitution. In addition, any node in the network was required to be able to fetch any part of the constitution from the other nodes. I implemented the nodes in a circle, such that each node only new about the impervious and next node. This implementation is in C.
