Computer science–related stuff

VYROW

View Your Repository On the Web

Simple GitHub Action that renders all Markdown documents in given repository to HTML documents. It may be used as a frontend of the repository that is more based around notes or documents in general rather based around normal source code.

It uses Pandoc for rendering Markdown documents and Pandoc-KaTeX to render LaTeX expressions inside these Markdown documents. The rest of the program is based around Bash scripts for installing needed programs and rendering the documents.

Restaurant Rush (unreleased)

A Unity game where the player needs to serve food to the canteen clients as quickly as possible, ninja-style. My involvement here was creating 3D assets for the game. I also helped a little in the organisational stuff.

Repository notebooks

Personal Notebook

I’ve created my personal notebook to organise my notes into one place. Additionally, I keep all of my config files and various scripts.

Highlights:

• First setup script — after a fresh OS installation this script installs some basic stuff to get started.

• Installation scripts for various programs.

  e.g. installation script for Blender 3D:

  #!/bin/bash
  
  printf "\n\033[1mBlender\033[0m\n"
  
  ftp_url="https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blender/release/"
  
  # get the remote directory of the latest Blender version
  rem_dir="$(curl -s $ftp_url | perl -nle 'print $& if /Blender\d\.\d{2}/g' | tail -n 1)"
  
  # get the name of the remote archive
  rem_arc="$(curl -s -L $ftp_url$rem_dir | perl -nle 'print $& if /blender\-\d\.\d{2}\.\d{1,2}\-linux64\.tar\.xz/g' | tail -n 1)"
  
  printf "\n\033[1mDownloading…\033[0m\n"
  echo "Archive: $rem_arc"
  
  if [ -z "$rem_arc" ]; then
      echo 'error: couldn’t download Blender — extracted filename is empty'
      exit 1
  fi
  
  # download the archive
  archive="/tmp/blender.tar.xz"
  curl --output "$archive" "$ftp_url$rem_dir/$rem_arc"
  
  printf "\n\033[1mInstalling…\033[0m\n"
  # unpack the archive
  cd "/tmp"
  unpacked="/tmp/${rem_arc%\.tar\.xz}"
  tar -xf "$archive"
  # copy the program (application) metadata
  sudo cp "$unpacked/blender.desktop" "/usr/share/applications/blender.desktop"
  sudo update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications
  # copy the program data
  sudo mkdir -p "/opt/blender"
  sudo cp -r -- $unpacked/* "/opt/blender/"
  # link the executable
  cd "/usr/bin"
  sudo ln -fs "/opt/blender/blender" "blender"
                  

• Second keyboard setup — using Keebie.py for transforming my second USB keyboard as a big shortcut matrix.

Academic notebook

This repository holds almost all of my academic efforts that I’ve gathered throughout my studies at my uni. It contains both the notes (Markdown + LaTeX) and programs (source code).

E-commerce website

(previous version, no longer in use)

I’ve created a simple online store for my father’s business. It worked pretty well for a while and amounted to pretty acceptable sale numbers. However, a ready-to-go solution that you can buy is better, because it has more features — a product made by single person cannot compete with a product made by a big team of people that worked on in for years.

Technologies I’ve used include:

• TypeScript,
• Angular,
• ExpressJS,
• MySQL,
• Bash,
• and other.

The website had frontend made in Angular (both the main customer website and the admin panel). The backend was running on TypeScript-turbocharged ExpressJS. All the data was stored in a MySQL database.

My minuscule involvement in random open-source projects

I’ve helped (a little bit) in two random projects that were just related to what I was working on.

WakaTime Blender a Blender plugin that tracks user activity and reports it back to WakaTime.

Pandoc is a markup converter that accepts many various markup languages. I needed that one thing for my other project to work (VYROW) so I’ve created a pull request with a suggestion about a small thing in the HTML5 template.
