The Flocking Dead

This is a game made in 7 days for the Experimental Gameplay Project (Nov 2010) themed on Day & Night. It is a zombie apocalypse simulation based on flocking. It was made in C++/Qt and involves flocking, space partitioning, multi-agent architecture.

Visual TODO v1.1

This is a short program built in Processing that displays information as a tree. I use it as an extended to-do list and to keep quick notes about things. It is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac) and can run as a Java applet in a web browser. It is available as open-source free software on SourceForge.

Below is a one-minute video presentation on youtube:

Processing game (pipes)

This is a quick game built with Processing.  It includes methods to solve automatically (genetic algorithm and simulated annealing). It is compatible with both Processing and Processing.js, which means it can be a Java program on Windows, Linux, Mac, a Java applet in a browser or a HTML5 Javascript script embedded in a canvas tag (not compatible with IE8).

FreSCBot

This is a simple micromanagement bot made for the Starcraft AI Competition hosted by the Expressive Intelligence Studio at UC Santa Cruz for the AIIDE 2010 conference. It is based on a multi-agent model, where each unit is an independent agent modeled by a state machine. Units react to their environment independently and are coordinated using generic mechanisms. This was a two-person project written in C++.

Our AI system entered and won tournaments 1 and 2 of the competition (micromanagement and tactics).

Slideshow v1.0

Technologies:

C++, Qt

Slideshow is a compact tool that displays images from a folder. I was looking for a program to display reference pictures to draw/paint, but didn't find what I was looking for so I wrote one. It is based on Qt 4.6, intended for Windows, but should be portable to Unix/Linux/Mac OS. It is licensed under GPLv3, so feel free to use and redistribute.

CBS

Technologies:	C++, Scripts
Techniques:	Benchmarking

CBS is a Linux C++ Benchmarking Suite originally developed for Vaucanson. It provides tools to profile C++ code and analyze its performance (CPU time and memory consumption). Developers equip C++ code with measurement macros to locate bottlenecks and generate performance statistics over time.

CBS generates output in several formats:

• Text
• XML (for automatic processing)
• DOT (for quick visualization)

Included in the links are technical reports and slides of the presentations I made about Vaucanson.

Metaheuristics

Technologies:	Python, Qt
Techniques:	Genetic algorithm, simulated annealing

This is a simulated annealing demo program. It shows the step-by-step execution of a simulated annealing algorithm on a simple problem (ordering of components on a grid). The GUI was written in Python (PyQt + PyQwt). It works with Python 2.6 on Windows, Linux, Mac OS.

Da GNIII Project

Technologies:	Pascal (Delphi)
Techniques:	Octree, 3D rendering

DGP is a FPS game concept written in Pascal, also the first project I wrote in engineering school as an introduction to programming and working in teams. It was essentially just an excuse to write something fun and somewhat functional (including fantastic artwork!).
