Games & Tools In detail

This section contains some of the silly applications i have developed as exercise or for personal usage, while learning some programming languages or technologies. Even tho they're pretty much kids' stuff, i've had a lot of fun working on them, back in the days :p.

Trend Miner

Download

Offline version of the web application for trend mining (see the Web section). This one allows to load descriptions for documents and topics from the file system, producing the computed trend as a file.

Cars vs Helicopter

Download

This simple game written in Java was my very first complete approach to programming: play as the helicopter and shoot bombs to the underlying moving cars, but watch out for their reflecting shields! You have two lives.

In the last version it's possible to play online against another player (who's going to control the vehicles, activating their shields).

Simple chess

Download

This chess game wouldn't really pass the Turing test :) (for artificial intelligence): it's purely a player vs player match.

Home chat

Download

Two minimal chat software and my very first practical approach to network socket programming: the first uses a client-server model and TCP, allowing multiple clients to share conversations. The second is based on a peer-to-peer model and uses UDP as transport protocol.

Cripto

Download

The incredibly complicated symmetric cryptographic algorithm used by this tool is for you to figure out :p.
