Experience
A Command Line Interface for Assembla
https://rubygems.org/gems/assemblaThis gem was developed to interact with an API for Assembla Project Management software. I am proud of the work I did on this project in 2009-2010, and I have received positive emails from users.
Emacs Package: Idle Highlight in Visible Buffers Mode
https://github.com/ignacy/idle-highlight-in-visible-buffers-modeThis is an Emacs extension that highlights the current word under the cursor in all visible buffers. It is a very small improvement to the editor's interface but I get contacted by people telling me it improved their workflow - which makes me very happy.
Virtual Camera
A virtual camera implemented using Kotlin that presents a rendering of a 3D scene (three cubes with colored sides) and allows (using ASDW and arrow keys) to move the viewpoint around. This is a bit different from the usual stuff I do on the job and so I had a very nice time building it.
Checkers Implemented in C#
https://github.com/ignacy/warcabyThis is a program playing checkers (with itself or the user). The main idea and difficulty in this project was the development of the engine. It uses the mini-max algorithm to find the best move. What makes it really great are the optimizations included (alpha-beta pruning).
