TampereGotchi on GitHub

It’s about time! After almost a year past the project completion at the University of Tampere, the source code was left bitrotting in my (and my colleague’s) hard drives. Since then I remembered countless times that I had to upload and blog about it and fix a couple things on it but never had the time. Hopefully it’s not too late.

Back to Brazil: LISHA and other tidbits

Exchange period is finally over. Truth be told, it has been over for almost two months! But it feels like only now I have got my bearings back again. It is not easy leaving Finland, what an awesome country! Just as I was doing before leaving more than a year ago, I am back at work at LISHA, the Hardware and Software Integration Laboratory at Santa Catarina Federal University (UFSC), whilst working on graduating as a Mechatronics engineer. Under the supervision of Dr. Prof. Giovani Gracioli, my current filed of research are resource synchronization protocols for mutiprocessor real-time operating systems (RTOSs), or more specifically, EPOS.

Projective Game Platform for Public Spaces

Hello everyone! 🙂 My second and final semester at the University of Tampere has just come to an end. I am very thankful for being invited to this great instituition. The ambiance and facilities are just as excellent as the staff and quality of teaching. This post is about my project for the Human-Technology Interaction Project course at the School of Information Sciences.

neiasound

Today is a very important day for me. I am finally releasing to the wild my first open source library! neiasound is an OpenAL wrapper for Qt-style applications, ready to be integrated into an engine’s main loop. Doing positional audio is stupidly easy with it. It also includes facilities for reading wav and ogg files, and optionally supports libsndfile, for reading flac and many more formats. It is also easy to implement your own audio stream decoder interface. There is support for streaming dynamic playlists with intros and seamless looping.

dw Engine Update One

We have Fire Shield! Normal shield! Bridges! Running on water! Rain! Particle effects! Cool stuff! Basically, The engine is ready for it’s inevitable one/two zone demo. The first video is a bit older, and sucks for being offscreen. Linux version. The other is more recent, from the android build. The capture is choppy though, so you’ll have to take my word for it when I say the framerate is good.

Smart Crane Monitoring App Update

This is another blog post reporting project progress. On the 18th of December we had a review meeting with KONECRANES. We revised the use cases and set the final goals for implementation. During the holidays it was a bit difficult to work, given the atmosphere and constant distractions. I’m glad I still got to enjoy Christmas and New Year’s in Tampere. Ultimately, work got done finishing the UI.
