Tetris Red, White, and Blue Edition Tetris in QNX RTOS Don't be fooled, those blocks cleared immediately after I grabbed a screenshot. I just happen to have hands like lightning... only slightly less fast and destructive (cue the Nakadaka ipon ken karate hand strikes). This is being developed for an Embedded Systems course I'm currently taking.   This course's final project focuses on the design and development of an embedded software application--which, as you can see, is Tetris--in C using the QNX RTOS and implemented on an ATMEL AT91SAM9G45 microprocessor . Development This was developed in several stages. The first stage involved a GUI design and shape creation. The second stage entailed controlling shape movement and establishing bounds.  The third stage required a redesign of the GUI (slightly) because our professor gave us the wrong initial dimensions... not too much of a change, but got to learn some more about the front end aspect. Additionally,...

PROJECT CAITLAND One of my closest friends is an artist and I noticed her webpage looked a little cluttered (plus you needed Flash to view it). I met with her to figure out how we could make her a webpage that would better represent her and her art style. Together, with a team of 3 other developers, we brought her ideas to life.

I present to you, a screenshot of the mock up I made in Paint and a screenshot of the [almost] final product! OLD SITE NEW SITE

GREETINGS, EARTHLING! Hello! Here's a quick introduction, since this is a new blog. My name is Krystal . I'm a 4th year Software Engineering student at Penn State (WE ARE!) and I'm trying to make an online portfolio for myself, so here is part one: the blog . I'll try to keep it regularly updated with projects, questions, struggles, and maybe even some tutorials (although those will have to wait until I finish this semester... boy, am I busy). So without further ado, our first topic: GIT I'm embarrassed to say that in my last year of school, I am still not comfortable with Git. For those of you who don't know what Git is, here's a nice tutorial . If you're too lazy to click on the link, you won't like Git very much... but I'll tell you what it is anyway. It's a version control system. Basically, when I'm writing a program, there will be many stages to the coding process. I'll write something, it'll work, I'll write so...
