Other Version(s)

Previous version: Salaah Times Windows Gadget

Info

All Muslim’s are obligated to offer 5 daily prayers (Salaah) during specific times of the day. This was originally developed as a Windows Sidebar Gadget to aid in meeting this obligation in 2011 (using JavaScript, XHTML & CSS), but it was rewritten as a XAML-based, C#, widget-like app, so I could learn more XAML (& LINQ). A companion converter app provides an XML prayer timetable for this app to visually display. It is currently being updated to use the MVVM design pattern.

For TV series I am interested in, it displays the episodes showing on any day. Its data is stored in an XML file, which I manually update as TV series are announced, start/end, go on break, etc.

Original University assignment project: Windows Mobile Game

Info

Original project was a .NET Compact Framework based, networked, Windows Mobile 6 game I developed for a University assignment.

Later, I re-developed this project to learn programming with .NET for Windows Phone using XAML. I followed portions of Microsoft’s ‘Building Apps for Windows Phone 8 Jump Start‘ online course available on MSDN Channel 9. I implemented some of the course concepts by porting a the original .NET Compact Framework based to Windows Phone 8.

Info

I developed an Artificial Intelligent (AI) application (or AI Agent) that played Ms Pac-Man for my Master’s dissertation, using an iterative development lifecycle so I could iteratively improve my AI Agent by using measurable metrics. The agent I developed was a Fuzzy Logic, Rule-Based System combined with multiple Tree Search Algorithms.

JSudoku

Dates

Technology

OO Programming, JavaScript, XHTML, CSS

Info

I developed this web-based Sudoku game using JavaScript, XHTML and CSS, to facilitate my learning of JavaScript.

I initially developed this game during any free time I had at work, where I was waiting for more work to arrive. During this time, we were advised to read or talk (quietly). Some people would draw art in Microsoft Paint. That gave me the idea of make this sudoku game using just notepad (& Internet Explorer). I had to rely entirely on my knowledge of CSS, XHTML & JavaScript as we only had no internet access.

Dates

Technology

OO Programming, Java, Assembly, Compiler/Interpreter, Notepad++, ANTLR

Info

I developed Top-Down & Bottom-Up Local Register Allocators, using the ANTLR compiler generation toolkit. A Register is a memory location on a Processor. A Register Allocator will transform an Assembly Program that has unique & unlimited virtual memory locations, to an Assembly Program that has a limited set of physical memory locations, which are reused as needed.

Simple Parser & Interpreter

Dates

Technology

OO Programming, Java, Assembly, Compiler/Interpreter, Notepad, ANTLR

Info

I created a simple Parser and Interpreter for an Assembly-like programming language, using the ANTLR compiler generation toolkit. I wrote Regular Expressions and parsing rules that defined the programming language; that is what the instructions were and how they could be used. I then developed the interpreter that would read and execute programs written in this programming language.
