Published on 2024-02-17. Tagged with projects.

The second portion of fun projects to implement during cold, winter nights. The first part can be found here.

• CHIP-8 emulator

  • really good place to start when embarking on the emulator journey
  • only ~40 simple instructions to implement
  • well documented design
  • easily defined graphics (you can quickly visualize the progress!)
  • lots of games to test on

• Micromouse agent

  • inspired by micromouse competition
  • write an agent to navigate a robot through a undiscovered maze

• Voxel engine

  • inspired by Teardown
  • use onlu cubes
  • use only procedural textures

• Online ascii editor

  • write an online ascii char editor similar to asciiflow, but much more intuitive
  • use webassembly

• Train a deep learning network how to play a 2d racing game

  • generate random cyclick track
  • implement simple 2d driving model
  • implement simple 2d sensor model
  • use deep learning to find quickest agent to complete the track

• Distributed data store

  • implement CAS

• Create a custom programming language

  • design a simple programming language
  • implement a lexer
  • implement a recursive-descent parser
  • implement a LLVM backend
