Algorist
A personal project where I archive my learnings of The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven S. Skiena.
I consider this book to hold fundamental knowledge crucial to any computer science enthusiast.
By having it on hand, I can use it as a quick reference whenever I need to solve an algorithmic problem.

Unity Camera Recorder
https://github.com/saad-kh/unity-camera-recorderA prototype that enables the recording of a video straight from an Unity3D Camera.
This prototype enables the recording of a video straight from an Unity3D Camera. It comes with a C# script that should be added to the scene and provided with the desired Camera. It has also a native C++ plugin that should be compiled and added as a native plugin to the Unity Project. The managed code gathers the rendered frames of the camera while the unmanaged code packs them into a video file.

Crispy Physics
https://github.com/saad-kh/crispy-physicsCrispy Physics is a 2D physics engine written in C# for Unity3D.
It's a close appropriation of Box2D assuming a similar structure along with heavily borrowed code.
The main feature of the engine is the ability to stop and rollback the simulated world freely along the timeline—foreseeing and keeping track of future and past states.
