I developed a specialized application to retrieve real-time stage data from the popular online Nintendo Switch game "Splatoon 3," which launched on September 9th, 2022. Leveraging the publicly accessible APIs provided by splatoon3.ink, the app performs web requests to gather and display current stage information.The implementation involves a systematic process of making web requests and parsing the received data to extract pertinent details about ongoing game stages. Despite its repetitive nature, this approach ensures the app reliably delivers up-to-date information to users.By focusing on efficient data handling and API integration, I ensured the app's functionality remains robust and responsive. This project not only demonstrates my proficiency in web-based data retrieval and processing but also showcases my ability to leverage external APIs effectively to create a practical utility for Splatoon 3 enthusiasts.

Origin Light

The above function is responsible for emitting the initial light, which serves as the catalyst for interactions with every other dynamic element in the game. This initial emission is critical, as it sets off a chain reaction of interactions and behaviors that define the core gameplay experience.Upon emission, the light interacts with various game elements, such as mirrors. Each interaction alters the light's properties, such as its direction, color, and intensity, creating a complex and engaging puzzle environment. This foundational function ensures that the light behaves consistently and predictably, providing players with a reliable and immersive experience.Moreover, this function is meticulously designed to handle various interactions seamlessly, ensuring that the game's mechanics remain robust and error-free. By managing the initial light emission and its subsequent interactions, this function plays a pivotal role in driving the game's dynamic and interactive nature.

Mirror System

The above function was likely the one I dedicated the most time and effort to perfecting. Its primary purpose is to mirror the origin light from the mirror object within the game. This required inverting the direction of the light, a task that involved careful calculation and precision.In addition to ensuring the accuracy of the light reflection, I faced the challenge of optimizing the function to prevent the creation of an infinite number of objects. Infinite object generation is highly problematic in game development, as engines like Unity (or any other game engine) cannot handle infinite objects and may crash or experience severe performance issues.To address this, I implemented safeguards and optimizations to manage object creation efficiently, ensuring the game runs smoothly and maintains high performance. This function's development was a complex and rewarding experience, showcasing my ability to solve intricate problems and optimize game mechanics effectively.

Color Seperator

In the above function, my primary task was to separate mixed colors, a process that might initially seem to require complex mathematical computations. However, I effectively utilized a more straightforward and efficient solution by employing a switch case statement. This approach allowed for clear and organized handling of different color combinations, streamlining the function's logic and improving overall performance.

The following code constitutes the core controls and primary function of the game. It serves as the central hub for managing user inputs and orchestrating the game's main mechanics. This code is meticulously designed to ensure responsive and intuitive control, providing a seamless and engaging experience for the player.Within this function, various critical operations are handled, including interpreting user commands, updating the game state, and coordinating interactions between different game elements. The main controls section is responsible for capturing and processing input from the player, translating these actions into meaningful in-game responses. This ensures that the game responds accurately and promptly to user commands, enhancing the overall playability and immersion.Additionally, the primary function encompasses the essential logic that drives the game's core mechanics. This includes managing the physics calculations, updating object states, and handling collisions and interactions within the game environment. The code is optimized for performance, ensuring smooth and consistent gameplay even during complex sequences.Overall, this code represents the backbone of the game, integrating all necessary components to create a cohesive and enjoyable gaming experience.

This code snippet represents the function responsible for identifying the nearest available target. It plays a pivotal role in the application by efficiently determining and prioritizing the closest viable option from a set of possible targets. This functionality is crucial for optimizing decision-making processes within the application, ensuring that actions are directed towards the most immediate and relevant targets.

The following code snippet is dedicated to implementing a camera system that dynamically tracks the player's movements within the game environment. This functionality is essential for maintaining a clear and responsive view of the player's actions, enhancing the overall gaming experience by ensuring optimal visibility and perspective.

File System

For my Discord moderation bot, I've implemented a proprietary data management system tailored specifically to handle long-term storage needs effectively. This custom solution ensures robust and secure storage of critical information essential for moderation tasks within the server.Designed to accommodate various types of data such as user infractions, my system maintains a structured repository that supports efficient querying and retrieval. Timestamps and detailed metadata accompany each entry, providing comprehensive historical context and facilitating thorough audit trails.By leveraging this bespoke data management system, I have empowered the bot to maintain persistent records of user interactions and moderation actions over time. This capability not only enhances the bot's effectiveness in enforcing server policies but also enables proactive moderation strategies based on data-driven insights.Through continuous refinement and optimization, my custom data management system plays a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, and integrity of moderation operations within Discord servers.

The first thing that gets caught during any event is checking if that user has a file dedicated to them. If not: create a new file.

When a user receives a warning within the moderation bot, the process involves meticulous data management to ensure comprehensive record-keeping and adherence to server policies. Here is an example of how the internal system handles a warning:- user: Represents the unique identifier of the Discord user who received the warning.
- userName: Display name or username of the user.
- warnings: An array containing details of each warning issued to the user.
[
- identification: Unique identifier for the warning event.
- time: Timestamp indicating when the warning was issued.
- reason: Brief description of the reason for the warning
- weight: Numeric value representing the severity or impact level of the warning.
- moderator: Username or identifier of the moderator who issued the warning.
]This structured approach ensures that all warning incidents are systematically recorded and accessible for review and management purposes. By maintaining clear and organized records, the moderation bot supports transparency, accountability, and consistent enforcement of server guidelines.

TCP Server Netcoding

Prototype 1

Recently I have decided to start working with Online Multiplayer and netcoding as it seemed like a necessary skill to have.Let me run through how the prototype on the left side works.The server program starts with of course opening up the server itself. It opens up a TCPListener and with port forwarding properly set up, clients can connect to the server.Once a Client connects to the Server the Server starts creating a new thread to handle the Client and then immediately the server assigns the Client with its own Unique ID to be able to keep track of it.
That's when the server repeatedly sends over packets in the form of JSON strings with it's current ID, name, position, rotation and health.

Prototype 2

This is a much more fleshed out prototype featuring a server list and a login screen.When a client connects to a server the first thing the server does is ask for Login information and forcefully disconnects it after 5 failed attempts
