Computer codework can frequently include algorithms as part of the product and solution. On several occasions during studies Akutra coded, implemented and even benchmarked algorithms. When developing a code project it may be necessary to develop an algorithm a bit or decide which algorithm to utilize for a particular scenario. Work on such projects transpired in classwork for classes such as CSC280O Data Structures I, CSC313O Operating Systems Theory, CSC380O Encryption Theory and CSC275O C++ Programming II.

AESCipherKey, CSC380O Encryption Theory In the project AESCipherKey, Akutra created an interface that allows the user to process the AES Encryption algorithm in internal algorithm process stages. The utility also allowed the user to encrypt via DES encryption as a secondary option. |
 |
RaySorter, CSC280O Data Structures I In the project RaySorter, Akutra created sample arrays of multiple sizes and benchmarked two sorting algorithms (Quick Sort and Index Sort). |
 |
RaySearcher, CSC313O Operating Systems Theory In the project RaySearcher, Akutra created sample arrays of multiple sizes and benchmarked two searching methods (Brute Search and Index Search). |
Machines are at the primary logic of much of todays computer technology and Akutra has long been fascinated by the creation of interesting ways to implement 'software' machines often referred to as Virtual Machines. Some such famous machines are VMWare and Java VM. Alot of interesting and neat features can be achieved by the creation of a well crafted 'machine'. Work on such projects transpired in classwork for classes such as CSC275O C++ Programming II, CSC313O Operating Systems Theory.

AssemblyCode Processor, CSC275O C++ Programming II Assembly Code processor written in Visual Studio C++. Code machine reads and executes assembly code instructions. This processor includes advanced features such as code threading and bitwise operators. |
 |
Client Server Systems, CSC313O Operating Systems Theory Threaded and multitasking, custom client server interface directly utilizing sockets. Projects that utilize 'n-tier' code architecture often utilize a client-server interface. |
 |
MyShell, CLI, CSC313O Operating Systems Theory In the project MyShell, Akutra created Custom shell / command line utility written in Visual Studio C#. In the project MyShell, Akutra created quick command line interface that included advanced features such as pipes and redirections. |
Artificial life is an exciting field with lots of possibilities. Akutra instantly found this field a highly fascinating realm where full environments could be created. The possibilties of artifical entities was both enticing and a bit dangrous when fully developed which only fascinated Akutra all that much more. Work on such projects transpired in classwork for classes such as CSC360O Artificial Life Programming and CSC330 Mobile Platform Software Development.

Flockit, AL example, CSC360O Artificial Life Programming Artificial Life routine flocking routine designed to migrate a flock across the screen to a target. Flock individuals avoid objects in their path yet stay together while trying to reach their target. |
 |
Attraction, AL Environment, CSC330 Mobile Platform Software Development Threaded artificial life app 'Attraction' is loosely based on cellular automaton with Agile documents written in Visual Studio C# with Xamarin (Cross-Platform Development Tool) for Android. Cell members try to locate the best possible position within their sight and move towards it until they are in the best possible position or cannot move. |
Akutra has often been attracted to flexible swift robust interfaces and dynamic content engines. When creating games this idea came out in his interface development as he designed the windows to be scalable and swiftly maneuverable. Game content preferably to be created dynamically with each redition yet smartly within the necessary parameters. In this way the game could vary with every level or play to allow the user the luxury of being able to play a little differently every time. Work on such projects transpired in classwork for classes such as CSC330 Mobile Platform Software Development, CSC318 Software Engineering Principles and CSC262O C# Programming II.
 |
TechSavvy Shopper, Android UI, CSC330 Mobile Platform Software Development TechSavvy Shopper is a shopping list/ToDo list for Android in Java with Agile development documents. Custom activity screens, Lists and views designed to swiftly access, create and update ‘todo’ lists. |
 |
AMAZEing Adventure Game, CSC318 Software Engineering Principles Dynamic map generating game written in Visual Studio C#. The map is auto-generated with each new phase and checked to make sure every spot on the board is accessible by the player. |
 |
Space Mines, CSC262O C# Programming II Dynamic scalable board of possible mines. Click three bombs and you lose, uncover all the safe spots and win. |
Over the years, Akutra has often had the need to develop web sites for various reasons with various presentation content. The desire to expand on a web site content via public content is something most web site developers grapple. Akutra set out to create project super glyph and is quite pleased with his handwork. Work on such projects transpired in classwork for classes such as PRO211O Student Innovation Project, CSC413O Advanced Software Development I and SIP483O Student Innovation Project II. This project has a project web site being that it is Akutra's Student innovation Project. Feel free to visit the web site and let Akutra know what you think at akutra.tm@leapmaker.com.
