Java Projects

GuitarHero

Created application that produces sound similar to a string being plucked by generating white noise on a ring buffer

Applied a wave function to signal that fades with time simulating friction

Utilized Karplus–Strong algorithm to physically model sound synthesis

Created chords, repetition, and phrase structure using loops, conditionals, and cyclic wrap arounds

Constructed several classes and catalyzed audio studio to create superposition modeled by a physical piano

Game of Life

Construct a simulator that maintains a state of the execution environment simulating the Game of Life

Composed a console interface for controlling the simulation and querying the state of execution

Designed critter that “won” Game of Life against various unknown test cases

Established the state of the world and its critters

Decryption Substitution Ciphers

Developed a program that decrypts a file that was encrypted with a substitution cipher

Executed frequency analysis

Encrypted flexible code based on user input with a substitution cipher

Mapped ASCII values of chars to indices in array

HomeField

Implemented a program that determines if there is a noticeable home field advantage in various sports

Tracked and calculated statistics for large data sets

Used scanners to process files and lines

Applied exception handling to manage user errors

Hangman

Organized a program that plays the Hangman game that utilizes a phrasebank to play game

Wrote an interactive program consisting of multiple classes

Used a phrasebank which is constructed by reading from a file

Handled loops, parameters, user input validation and error handling
