preussie's windoze projects

In 1993 I started to write software under Windoze 3.11 ( eek! ). And if you know NEXTSTEP you know that Win3.11 is a downgrade ( and even Win95/NT is ;). Anyway, now 6 years after, M$ has managed to implement most things NS could do in 1993, so it's quite 'painless' to develop under Win95/NT. Here are some projects I've done ( in Visual C++ ). Some of them are only 'experimental'. Let me know if you need the source code or if you would like to participate on a project ;).

Monster Mission

Monster Mission is a DirectX experiment. I started it to 'test-drive' the M$ DirectX library. It's more or less a classic Arcade type of game. Tons of sprites, extra weapons, smooth two plane scrolling, level editor etc. The game engine is 'map based' and flexible. It would be a quite easy job, to build a 'Boulder Dash' like clone out of the engine. I have included some of the classic 'Boulder Dash' elements already ( moving stones, growing walls etc... ). But it is still in 'experimental' status.Oh, yes - the gfx sucks :).

PicMerge

PicMerge is an utility to easily download pictures from the Kodak DC200/DC210/DC210+ Digital Camera. You can select a destination directory, click on the 'Download' button, minimize the application and go on with your work. If the download is done, 'PicMerge' notifies you with a sound. The advantage of 'PicMerge' is that it doesn't occupy your computer while downloading the pictures ( which the original Kodak Software does ).

SporView ( written by Jewe )

SporView is a Screen saver module. It's a kind of a 'life' simulation, very dynamic and always fun to watch ;). More Information can be found at the SporView page . There is also a NEXTSTEP version available.

WSM

WSM is an attempt to rewrite the NEXTSTEP WorkSpace Manager to replace the ( IMO ) 'brain dead' Windoze Explorer. All you can do for now is browsing through your filesystem and start applications. At the moment it's more or less useless. But nevertheless it's fun to implement more and more functionality...

ComFeed

ComFeed is a serial communication tool. For the projects I do at WWCom I needed a piece of software which is able to provide my main application ( RDS Network Server ) with some testdata. You can configure COM Ports ( COM1 - COM64 ) and send or receive data ( files ) from it. You can define 'data frames' and customize the timing of the dataflow.

My Projects at 2wcom

At 2wcom we are developing embedded systems related to wireless transmission and RDS. I am responsible for the Windoze Software ( Octo , Arcos etc... ) and frontends to setup our Embedded devices ( DataBridge etc... ) as well as some Embedded Linux developing stuff ( NIC for C02 ).
