Personal Projects
This is a small list of hobby projects created purely in my free time to play with different
technologies, languages and frameworks.
More can be found on my github page.
Sparkle-RS
A basic rendering engine written in Rust using DirectX 11 as graphics API
Uses nVidia HBAO+ for ambient occlusion rendering.
Dev Utils
Simple webpage with developer utilities for personal use
Pages are rendered serverside with the server implemented in rust using rocket-rs with
handlebars page templates.
Mud Saver
Savegame manager / backup tool for MudRunner and SnowRunner
Implemented in rust with embedded frontend using rocket-rs, handlebars and web-view.
Developed together with ThomCoder
Sparkle
Vulkan Render Engine written in C++ 17
This engine was created based on my project for the rendering engines course at Vienna
Technical University.
It is not finished, but basic rendering functionality and pipelines are implemented.
Some lessons learned and architectural ideas were taken over to and improved on in the
sparke-rs project, which is further advanced.
