This is a C++ implementation of the Unity Policy Server. I shared a previous implementation with friends from other game development Russian studios, and they asked me to write a C++ implementation that can also be built to execute a file. The reason was that there were difficulties with the Java administration.

In the root catalog, you can see README file which has the usage details.

It needs a simple server to work with Unity Web Player. Unity Web Player is a browser extension that allows the start Unity (https://unity3d.com/ru/) games in the browser. NPAPI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI) is deprecated in most browsers and Unity Web Player doesn't work there anymore (Unity ended support). Unity Web Player had a security system which has the next algorithm.

When the game requires one to connect to the server through TCP/UDP it sends through TCP or UDP respectively request with permissions to ask the server to host the 843 port. The server replays XML with permission details. If the client received these details and the server allows access then the client creates a TCP connection to the server or starts to send datagrams. Without a Policy Server, the Unity client will not work with servers.

This is a simple server to work with Unity Web Player which is a browser extension which allows the user to start Unity (https://unity3d.com/ru/) games in a browser. Now NPAPI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI) is deprecated in major browsers so Unity Web Player doesn't work there (Unity closed Web Player support and nobody develops games for Web Player so this server doesn't exist anymore). Unity Web Player had a security system which has the next algorithm.

When a game requires one to connect to a server through TCP/UDP it sends through a request TCP/UDP with permissions ask the server host to the 843 port.

The server replies with XML and permission details. If the client receives the details and the server allows access, then the client creates a TCP connection to the server or starts to send datagrams. Without a Policy Server, Unity Client won't work. So the Unity Policy Server was a simple, but necessary tool. I implemented it with Java/Netty (http://netty.io/) toolchain. It works simply—the server accepts connections to the 843 port (you can customize this), sends an XML file with permissions (you can customize this), and closes the connection.

To start the server, you can use a built jar in the target directory.

This is a tool for creating a dump of all the project data from https://app.asana.com/ (task-tracker).

Several weeks ago, my friend asked me to write a cross-platform tool which can dump of all the tasks from any Asana project. Asana limited it to non-administrator users and my friend is not an administrator. So, I wrote this tool for him and it successfully works. It works through a REST Asana API and the user's cookies from the Asana website.

A server-side integration for the event-based API Game Analytics (GA) that provides analytics for games. You send different types of events with detailed information to GA servers, and the service automatically presents a lot of infographics, including charts, tables, funnels, and graphs, with analytics about your game. GA has many SDKs but is targeted toward mobile game developers, and all SDKs should work on the client side.

We used it on the client side, but our game is not mobile, and we sent the in-app payment information from the server. Ruby is not usually seen in the mobile front-end, so GA doesn't have an SDK for Ruby. This is what we needed to implement by ourselves.

For this project, I worked remotely for an Australian startup via a third party Russian company. They solve all the organization problems and they find developers from Russia and companies from around the whole world and connect them.

Sometimes I interview new candidates and make trial assignments for foreign companies. Here is an example of the assignment—there was a European medical company that made software for customer relationships, and analyses of the data.

In a trial assignment, I was supposed to make a library for a Rails application which would allow the creation of records with a free-field structure, allow the management of this structure, and move this data between application environments. This was an easy task and I can freely share it.

This is a Ruby open-source project which I am currently working on.

This course made by Yandex (a Russian search engine company). It gives a good overview of machine learning and high theoretical basics and base skills for working with machine learning through Python.
