I’ve had this one sitting on the shelf for a while. The last semester of my undergraduate program at Wash U., I created a flight simulator program that could be used to view Martian terrtain data. We created this by grabbing a series of still shots while the flight simulator was running.

The First 1500 Hamming Numbers

I haven’t had a chance to post anything here since the beginning of last semester. I’m in a class at the moment where all of the programming assignments involves annoying little math algorithms. The most recent required us to generate the first N hamming numbers using an efficient algorithm that…

JCup & JFlex With Ant

I’ve been bogged down in work and school lately. So, it has been a while since I’ve written anything. This semester I’m taking an Instruction Set Architecture course at Wash U–basically, the final project is to design a processor with VHDL in ModelSim. I think I’m going to stick to software.…

Examining the Call Stack with GDB

This will be the second Blog entry I’ve made. I need to come up with a fancier welcome and introduction to each of these things. I started the forth semester of CS Masters program at Wash U. last week. I’ve got a lot of reading to do.

Universal Exterminator

I took CS450–Game Programming– at Wash U in Fall, 2005. This was the result. This was the end result. My group called themselves “Die Sphere, Die!”–you may notice our logo pop up occasionally.
