Contributed Projects

+

+ I've made contributions to these projects, more or less. +

+

BLumia OJ + + + [details] + + [short desc.] + +
+ A HUSTOJ compatible Online Judge system. +
+
Pineapple Synth + + [details] + + [short desc.] +
+ A software synthesizer developed by BLumia. I helped with some optimizations and bug fixes. +
+ +
FluidSynth + + [details] + + [short desc.] +
+ A realtime soundfont synthesizer. The irony is that most code I have contributed is Windoze-specific. +
+ +
thplayer + + [details] + + [short desc.] +
+ A replacement for my "thplayer.cpp" with GUI, written by BLumia. It has my reinvented wheel inside. +
+ +
Deepin Desktop Environment + + + [short desc.] +
+
+ I worked for Deepin as an intern for almost a year starting from February 2019. My work there + includes implementing optical disc authoring for the file manager and reworking the computer + pseudo-folder. I also worked on the networking section of the settings application for some + time, as well as a few other system components (DTK being one of them). Chances are if you + have ever used DDE v20 (the redesign released in 2020), my code has passed through the + pipelines of your processor. +
+
I have mixed views on Deepin the company. You may find out more in my blog posts.
+
+ +
CKRasterizer + + [details] + + [short desc.] +
+ Rasterizers for Virtools (an old interactive 3D toolkit). I shifted the project from a + reverse-engineering approach to a "just wing it" approach. Helped with completing the + DirectX 9 rasterizer. Additionally created two new rasterizer modules + for modern graphics from scratch (CKGLRasterizer and CKVkRasterizer). +
+ +
SDUOJ + + + [short desc.] + +
+ The Online Judge used by Shandong University, + Located here. + It does have a github repo, but we have been modifying + the production directly for so long that it is very + outdated. Yes we use ssh and vim to modify the prod. + And thanks to the stupid university I am in, it is + impossible to access out of the campus. +
