Stuff I threw together in a university context

→ Music Visualisation App: PartyVis 2009 – link to project blog During our Multimedia course, we had to create and implement a music visualisation tool on 4 different platforms (Flex, Android, iPhone and a multi-touch table). Our team created a party-oriented application. Using the Last.FM data of every person at the party, the ideal playlist is generated, and the links between users are visualised using a forced direction spring graph. This graph can be manipulated in order to get insight in the current playlist and configure it (e.g: to include similar artists, new artist, …). The ‘new’ approach in this application was not to simply link similar artists together, but linking artists through users. The Flex application runs in a browser, the Android app runs standalone on an Android phone, whilst the iPhone app and multi-touch app require setting up a local app server. All of the provided software is very rough, but with basic functionality. Demo video of Android app here. |

→ Java Rasterizer 2008 – link (download) A 3d Rasterizer from scratch. Diffuse/Phong shading, multiple light sources, anti-aliasing and perlin noise bump mapping. Reads scenes from a custom formatted .SDL file. Consult the source files for more documentation. Sample scenes and rendering setups included. Developed and tested on Java 6. |

→ Facebook App: Neverending Story 2009 – Facebook page For our course on User Interfaces, we had to design and implement a Facebook application, and perform usability tests on the interface. We developed a ‘Neverending Story’ app, which allows users to write stories with their friends, one line at a time. Because of the one-line limit, this results in crazy stories. The app is still in use on Facebook. |

→ FiMiX Web Mashup 2006 – client/ server(download) The assignment was to make a mashup of different web services. We combined Google Maps, Flickr, local RSS feeds and the timetables of the public transport services in a game called FiMiX (Find Mister X), which is based on the popular board game Scotland Yard. The game was demonstrated during a day, and we welcomed a lot of players :) |
