Non-gaming projects

Among games I like to develop some niche tools and small services in my free time. These projects usually start from me missing such a tool or service, and sometimes they grow into things that others may find useful.

Apps/Tools

scripter - a simple tool aimed towards developers who make scripts to automate daily routines (e.g. build scripts, local deployment, running tests, and etc.). The tool allows having one front-end for running those scripts and chaining them together, showing progress and execution time, storing logs, making presets, and more.

Written in Rust.

easy-photo-backup - an in-development project for simple and secure photo and video backup over Wi-Fi.

Written in Rust and Kotlin.

binomial-calculator - a set of Python tools to calculate, plot, and analyse binomial probabilities.

Web/Telegram

1ts.dev - a tiny service for sending self-destructing messages. Useful for sharing one-time secrets when no end-to-end encrypted second messaging channel is available.

Written in Go.

Spy Game Bot - a small Telegram bot for playing a couple of hidden identity games with a party of friends offline. Only one player needs a Telegram account to play.

Written in Go.

The King Says Bot - a small Telegram bot for playing a variation on truth-or-dare or ōsama with a party of friends offline. Only one player needs a Telegram account to play.

Written in Go.

Riichi Trainer Bot - a Telegram bot for practicing tile efficiency for riichi mahjong.

Written in Rust.

Riichi Scoring Trainer Bot - a tiny bot for practicing score calculation for riichi mahjong.

Written in Rust.

Random Shuffle Bot - a small bot for randomizing lists and doing drafts.

Written in Go, only Russian is supported at the moment.

Libraries

RaccoonECS - a simple ECS that I use in my gaming projects.

Written in C++17.

sparse_set_container - a Rust crate with a fast Vec-like container using keys that don’t invalidate on insertion/removal, it is as fast to iterate over as Vec and has O(1) lookup and insertion complexity. See comparison to other similar crates: benchmarks.

reservoir-sampler - a tiny C++ library containing a few classes to do reservoir sampling, aimed to make the randomized sampling from big streams of data as efficient as possible.
