Had I not chosen to study computer science, I would have likely studied physics instead. - -== Projects == - -Most of my large projects are related to ''Minecraft''. -A lot of other projects aren't listed here simply because they aren't significant enough, and/or because I can't waffle on about them for long enough to fill a whole subsection. - - -=== Quests === - -{{sourcecode|[https://github.com/LMBishop/Quests LMBishop/Quests]}} [[File:questcompass2-256.png|right|150px|Quests logo]] - -Quests enables ''Minecraft'' server owners to create goals or missions for their players to work towards. -It is probably one of my largest projects in terms of both how many people use it and the time I've spent working on it. -As of writing, it is used by approximately 1,200 servers and up to 9,000 players each day. -Unfortunately, I lack the time to properly maintain it, but it is still a project which I am mostly pleased with, as it gave me a good bit of experience designing somewhat large Java projects. - -The main description page can be found on [https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/23696/ SpigotMC]. - -=== Next bus === - -Next bus is a small service which returns live bus data based on open telemetry. -I wrote it as my nearest bus stop lacked a departure board and I knew that bus timings were openly available online. -This was one of my first web projects, and while I admit the the front-end is terrible, it was never designed to look pretty or for anyone but myself to use. -This project helped me to both learn the basics of how the web works (...and to also stop turning up late to lessons). - -While I have no need for it anymore, it is still accessible at [https://leonardobishop.com/~/nextbus/ https://leonardobishop.com/~/nextbus/]. - -=== This webiste === - -{{sourcecode|[https://github.com/LMBishop/website LMBishop/webste]}} -This website was written in TypeScript, and it parses pages written in a markup language and renders it as HTML. -I could've simply written these pages as static HTML, but I hate myself so I decided to over-engineer this solution instead. - -There are some caveats with this system though, in no particular order: -* re-rendering pages are a pain after edits -* files are read from <code>/static/image</code> rather than <code>/pages/file</code> (which breaks the point of the entire namespace system) -* templates can't transclude other templates -* the Template namespace is the only transcludable namespace -* code is a bit wack in places -* I'm never happy with the visual design -* I don't actually know what to fill this website with - -=== u/YTLinkerBot === - -{{sourcecode|[https://github.com/LMBishop/ytlinkerbot LMBishop/ytlinkerbot]}} - -YTLinkerBot is a small reddit bot which automatically crossposts YouTube links to reddit whenever a creator uploads. -This bot was originally written in Java, but it is (mostly) in the process of being re-written with NodeJS. -This is due to the fact that it constantly hits the YouTube Data API quota, as it works by continously polling YouTube for each registered channel. -The new recode will use Google's WebSub service, though the challenge comes with having to automatically manage channel subscriptions for a service which anyone can sign up to, and right now I don't have the time to implement this. |
