These projects span different stages of my career. Start with the engineering stories for the problem, decisions and impact behind Codebot and cvui. The catalogue below preserves the original projects and their period-specific stacks. More source code is on GitHub.
Featured developer tools
Codebot — I built a web-based IDE because game development work extends well beyond the code editor: assets, levels, sounds, documentation and publishing all interrupt the flow. Codebot explored how one environment could absorb more of that work.
cvui — OpenCV experimentation needed simple controls without another graphical backend. I created and maintained a small UI library rendered using OpenCV primitives, with documentation and both C++ and Python implementations.
Historical project catalogue
cvui C++ OpenCV
A (very) simple UI lib built on top of OpenCV drawing primitives. Other UI libs, such as imgui, require a graphical backend (e.g. OpenGL) to work, so if you want to use imgui in a OpenCV app, you must make it OpenGL enabled, for instance. It is not the case with cvui, which uses only OpenCV drawing primitives to do all the rendering (no OpenGL or Qt required).
Source code
WebsiteCodebot PHP MySQL Javascript
Codebot is a code editing program equipped with built-in tools to help you make your game faster (read full thoughts here). Developing a game is much more than just coding, you have to tweak art, build levels, convert files, find assets/extensions, read docs about building and publishing, and so on. The IDE should help us do that, or do it all by itself. Imagine you are working on your Ludum Dare/1GAM game and you need an 8-bit SFX. You click a button, a panel slides, you type in a few keywords, select what you want and done!
Live Broadcast Kit Javascript HTML CSS
Live Broadcast Kit (LBK) is a web app to easily and effortlessly create overlays for video content. It has been originally designed to work in conjunction with OBS to add and control overlays on live feeds, however it can be used as a standalone app as well. LBK has been developed to help with broadcast and video content creation within the Computer Science program at Federal University of Fronteira Sul, Chapecó, Brazil.
Reslide PHP Javascript
Share and remotely control your PDF-based presentations, all in the browser, without plugins or network restrictions. The process is simple: first you upload a PDF file to the website (no login required). When the upload is complete you receive two URLs: one for the presenter (can change the slides) and another for the viewers (can't change the slides). That's all!
Besearcher PHP SQLite Javascript
Besearcher (bot researcher) is a cross-platform tool to help researchers automate and keep track of software-based experiments. The main idea to define a command, its parameters and the possible values of those parameters. Besearcher will then generates all permutations of that command and its parameter values. It will execute each one of them, keeping track of their status (running, finished or aborted) and the output they produced.
Pigeon PHP
Pigeon is an easy to use, hassle-free PHP microservice for sending e-mails via HTTP requests. It values simplicity above all, i.e. no database required, extremely easy and quick installation. It is intended for small, in-house projects that require e-mail sending capabilities.
Jarena Java
A game approach to teaching OPP and Java. It is a battle arena where student-developed agents fight each other in order to survive. The last team to be eliminated from the arena wins the challenge.
Sac PHP MySQL Javascript
A web app to manage tiny conferences. It allows administrators to manage payments, schedules, attendance lists, competitions, rooms, etc. Visitors can book the events they want to participate.
Aura PHP MySQL Javascript
A tool with limited AI capabilities to manage computers in academic labs. It is composed of two parts: the web part (PHP/MySQL) and the aura-client (PHP, running as a command line app on every computer to be managed).
Progbot PHP MySQL Javascript
Progbot is a PHP/MySQL webapp to manage programming assignments. It allows professors to add and organize programming challenges, as well as grade them in an easy an contextual way. Students can keep track of solved challenges, deadlines and grading comments. It's is also possible to code directly in the browser, which avoids the hassle of configuring a complete programming tool chain (if that is not part of the deal).
