Computer Studies Projects

Just a few assignments I made for my 12th grade computer studies class. You get to pick your projects, so these are mine.

I have about 1-2 weeks for each project. Check the Git commits for specific dates or whatever.

Projects

  • Minesweeper/
    • I made Minesweeper for the TI-84 calculator. I tried to be somewhat true to the original Windows one.
    • 2 is down, 4 is left, 6 is right, 8 is up for your selection. Enter is to mine and the decimal point places a flag. The arrow keys move the board.
    • No additional libraries were used, only the built in TI libraries and the TI CE toolchain.
    • Doesn't run great. It uses 16-bit color mode, so the graphics are somewhat slow to render. I attempted to find the way to switch to 4-bit color mode, but I didn't find enough useful info (the best I've found so far is to dissect the GraphX assembly code). Still runs decent though, I've made as many optimizations as I easily could with the renderer, and everything else is fast.
    • WARNING: This one can't be built without reconfiguring the .clangd file to include the path to the toolchain.
  • Blackjack/
    • This program simulates casino blackjack rules. It allows for customizable player strategies.
    • I made a few default strategies (draw until 17, simple card counting, simple probabilities).
    • No additional libraries were used.
    • It has two custom-rendered graphs on the console display. I haven't figured out how to use XTerm yet, so I'm generating individual characters.
  • BonusTicTacToe/
    • Plays tic-tac-toe. I made the game in Windows Forms.
    • The game allows for customization for the board size (rows/columns), number of players (up to 8), amount needed in a row to win, and amount of wins needed to finish the game.
    • Nice colors and sprites for each player. Scales seamlessly with a higher DPI.
    • The only component used is the menu component. The board and sprites are rendered myself with OnPaint.
  • CentralizedChatRoom/
    • A live chat room system I wrote myself. It does not use HTTP, it instead uses my own TCP packet system.
    • Data transfer is automatically encrypted behind the scenes (though the server decrypts it when it gets it).
    • Allows for as many people to connect as need be.
    • The client is somewhat janky, but the server has zero issues from my testing.
