Projects:
 Multi-Agent Path Finding with different sized robots(C++11, individual) Summer 2016
o Designed a new and complete algorithm for robots of different sizes to find conflict-free and timespan -
minimum paths on a grid map based on modern Conflict Based Search;
o Implemented my algorithm and evaluated the experimental outcomes.
 Pintos Operating System(C, linux environment, group work) Spring 2016
o Implemented key features of modern OS including thread priority scheduling, timer, system calls, e.g.
o Improved Pintos OS’s performance
 Roller-Coaster 3D simulation(C & openGL core profile, individual) Spring 2016
o Wrote a program that simulates the ride experience from first-person angle;
o Converted 3D splines into train’s track and made the view angle follow real-time tangent of the spline.
 Multiplayer 2048(java, group work) Fall 2015
o Wrote a 2048 game with cooperative and competitive modes with 2 players on single or two computers;
o Used Java GUI, computer networking, SQL database, multi-threading in my part of the project.
 “Wrong Way” Game (Verilog, individual) Spring 2015
o Programed a FPGA board to play a game in which player move a car to avoid collisions;
o Used Pseudo random to generate enemy cars randomly and accelerate them gradually;
o Put the game on screen by generating output RGB signals from FPGA board.
