In year 3 of my program at Niagara College we were tasked with making a video game with the caveat that it had to be a UWP application. I set out to recreate the original Pac-Man arcade game for my project. It's in a fully playable state but is missing intermissions and some sound effects.
I was working on a personal project and needed a dictionary. There's many paid options for dictionary APIs but not many free ones. I found Princeton University's WordNet which while itself isn't a typical dictionary it contains words and their definitions.
I started with reading the data and exporting it to a SQLite database. I then added options to be able to export it as a dump of SQL commands to create a SQLite database as well as exporting to JSON for use with game engines.
Advent of Code is annual Christmas themed computer programming challenges. They range in difficulty from simple to very complex. When I have free time I like to go back to challenges from past years and solve them using Rust. I then post my solution once it is complete and verified to be correct.
