<h1>Projects</h1>

<h2>+ Other Things I've Learned</h2>

<div class="right">

<h3>Zombie Simulator</h3>

<p>For my software engineering class (Fall 2018), one of our projects was

to build a zombie simulation. This project's aim was to reinforce object-

oriented design principals and to get familiar with using GUI's. The

project involved creating human and zombie objects and giving them rules

and properties. Then, I updated the window with each iteration of the

code, making sure the simulation responded to user input. For example,

hitting space bar resets the simulation and clicking on the screen adds

a zombie in that spot. The finished code is on my GitHub repository,

right <a class="active" href="https://github.com/allisonrobbins/zombie">here</a>.</p>

<h3>Chat Server</h3>

<p>The last project in my software engineering class (Fall 2018) was to

create a multi-user chat server. This project's aim was to teach us how

networking and threading work. I created a server and a client, running

as many clients as I wanted at a time, using some starter code from the

profesor. The goal was for each client to connect with a name of their

choice. If they wanted to change their name, they typed "./" then the desired

name, which updates that user's name in their own window and all other client's

windows. The server read in each message from any of the clients and then sent

it back to all the clients along with the name of that client. Each client

printed a running log of all the messages sent. The code is

<h3>Processor Design</h3>

<p>In my Computer Architecture class (Fall 2018), I worked with a group to

design a processor for a simplified version of LC-3. We built every component,

including the memory, control, and processing units. I was responsible for the

processing unit, so I made the ALU and register bank from scratch and connected

them to the rest of the machine. We used Cedar Logic to design, build, and test.</p>

<h3>Encryption/Decryption</h3>

<p>Our next project in Computer Architecture was to write encryption software

in LC-3. The program ran by prompting the user to select whether they wanted

to encrypt, decrypt, or exit. If they chose to encrypt, they entered a message,

then entered a key. The program used two encryption algorithms to convert each

character of the message, then stored those in memory. Then, if the user chose

to decrypt, the user would again enter the same key. The program reversed the

encryption to print out the original message. If the user chose to exit the

program, the program wrote over the section of memory that stored the encrypted

message, just to be safe.</p>

<h3>Search Engine</h3>

<p>In Computer Architecture, the next project was to build a search engine in C.

The program read in data from three text files and placed the data in a hashmap.

Next, the program removed all stop words from the map. The user entered a string

of words to search for, and the program calculated and used the inverse document

frequency to rank the documents by relevance and printed that ordering to the

screen. Code is <a class="active" href="https://github.com/allisonrobbins/project-5-arch">here</a>.</p>

<h3>Code Performance Optimization</h3>

<p>Given image altering code in C, this project was to optimize the code's performance.

Because this project was in my Computer Architecture class, the goal was not to create

nice, readable, object oriented code. Rather, it was to reduce the time needed to rotate

and smooth an image. By using inlining and blocking, I reduced the time by 60%. Code is uploaded

<a class="active" href="https://github.com/allisonrobbins/archProj6">here</a>.</p>
