Reversi

This is the Android version of the classic game Reversi. For this version you play against an AI opponent which has an adjustable difficulty level. I wrote this app using OpenGL ES 2.0 plus it incorporates Alpha–beta pruning to calculate the AI moves. Click here to learn more about Reversi.

beat time widget

I wrote this widget to display beat time, a measurement of time introduced by the Swatch corporation. Beat time divides a day into 1000 time units called 'beats' and is displayed as @DDD where DDD is 000 to 999. Beat time doesn't observe time zones or daylight savings time so it's the same no matter where you are located. Click here to learn more about beat time.

Physics Demo

This demo uses LiquidFun (via SWIG bindings). LiquidFun is a 2D rigid-body and fluid simulation C++ library for games based upon Box2D. The app also uses OpenGL ES 2.0 to render all graphics and this 2D metaballs technique to render fluid.

Sudoku

This game that follows the rules of Classic Sudoku. Each puzzle consists of a 9x9 grid containing clues. Use the clues to fill all empty squares so that the digits 1 to 9 appear exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 box.

Route Tracker

Lets you record your route while biking, jogging or walking. While recording, the app marks points on a map at a fixed interval of time. Once you've finished recording you can save the route and view it again at a later time. You can also save your routes as GPX files.

Shopping List

I wrote this app to replace the paper shopping lists I use for grocery shopping. I incorporated more advanced coding concepts in this app such as content providers, loader managers, fragments, dialog fragments, creating/updating listviews and using the Sqlite database.

Bulls and Cows

This is a puzzle game I wrote to start learning Android development. The object of the game is to guess a randomly generated sequence of numbers by examining clues for each guess.
