Projects

Weenix Operating System
C Bitbucket
Weenix Operating System
UNIX-based monolithic kernel for a single-processor operating system. This kernel effectively supports a wide range of user space programs, developed in C. Implemented processes, threads, mutexes, VFS, V5FS, and Virtual Memory (Implemented virtual memory maps, page fault handler, anonymous and shadow objects, and systems calls such as fork(). With these, the Weenix kernel can manage user address spaces, run user-level code and service system calls).

Little Timmy’s Hide and Seek Spooktacular
Little Timmy’s Hide and Seek Spooktacular is a stealth-action game with an emphasis on exploration and resource management. In it, you take control of a helpless character being pursued by hostile NPCs. NPCs follow regular patrol patterns, that is, until they see you. Once they do, they become suspicious and eventually chase you down until they lose you or hurt you. You can’t fight back by yourself. You need to use a combination of environmental traps and items found throughout each level to take the enemies down. Your goal is to clear each area of hostiles.
