Programming Languages

Favorite:

• Modern C++ (C++20)
• C# 7.3, .NET 4.8 + .NET Core

I also do other IT languages, not limited to programming (SQL, JavaScript) and even have advanced knowledge HTML+CSS. Using Delphi and T-SQL at work but use C++ (and sometimes C#) at my free time.

I prefer GIT for versioning, especially from JetBrains' GUI or console (Bash on linux, Git Bash on Windows).

I am paying for JetBrains All Products Pack myself, and I really like it! (not paid promotion)

Templates

• C++
• C++ with LUA scripting
• C++ with Vulkan API

Those are my repository templates to simplify prototyping (and motivate me to separate projects into smaller parts). They contain basic CMake project structure and Github Actions (Linux + Windows).

Fizz-Buzz

Based on Fizz buzz game, those are my language showcase projects.

• C++
• C#

TODO List

There used to be more bullet points with "deadlines" but lately I am running out of time. Therefore, I went through the list and cleared it.

• AWEngine with Vulkan Renderer

  • Custom Low-level C++ Game Engine
    • Designed to provide platform-independent API which can be bended to developer's will
  • Multiple components (parts) which may be used by output project
    • Packet networking, UI, Audio...
  • This is my "pet project" as I can work on any part of it at any time
    • I also use it as a sandbox when tinkering / drafting mechanism for EmberSky

• EmberSky

  • Voxel-base action game
  • Client + Realm of servers
  • I do the server side of the project (and low-level drafts)

Postponed until... unknown

• Decay

  • GoldSrc (Half-Life, Counter-Strike 1.6) File (Map, Textures...) Parser Library
    • Remake of BspLib with addition
    • May be extended by JavaScript version (for web usage)
  • AWEngine "runtime"
    • Use AWEngine to emulate (maybe even improve upon) GoldSrc engine
    • Probably not compatible with Half-Life Deathmatch and Counter-Strike 1.6 but hopefully with working multiplayer

• BSP Map Parser

  • Inspired by Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM and Duke Nukem 3D
  • Do more research into BSP login (also used in Quake and GoldSrc)
  • Somewhat parent project to Decay Library
  • May help with remastering those games

• SoulEater draft using AWEngine

  • Load data from Dark Souls 1 (Remaster or PtD?), Dark Souls 2 (SotFS) and Dark Souls 3
    • Only parse, not to provide the data = must own the game
  • Render with AWEngine
    • Will be perfect benchmark environment for the engine
      • "modern" PBO-like environment + gameplay
      • 3 different ages
  • Use same controls (user input + responsiveness) for all 3 Souls games

• Voxelite

  • 3D Voxel Customizable Game (Server-side mods)
  • I consider this project dead
    • Some ideas are re-used in Ember Sky
    • It was mainly learning project
