The files below are an original attempt at making a 2d tile based game, however I decided to scrap this project realizing many flaws in my design. If I was to try again I would use a game library probably lwjgl, and I would also plan it better.

However, recently I decided to revive this project in a small way because I decided it was a good platform to test path finding. The algorithm I decided to was was Dijkstra’s algorithm where the starting point is the NPC and the end point is the player. The controls are WASD to move and U to go to the player.

This program is a graphical aid to creating java files created as a group project with me doing most of the work. On the website there are details on what was completed by who.

This is an image viewer that I’ve been casually working on in Java, it’s not done, but it has all the features I had initially planned implemented.

The image viewer works on a database system where a user can scan in a folder of images and then apply tags to these images. Then they can search for these tags to find relevant images.

Other features:

• Slideshow
• Fullscreen
• Removing duplicate images
• Find missing files
• Removing dead files
• Selectable databases
• Exporting images
• Deleting images
• Setting slideshow time

Download Links

• Windows installer
• Windows executable
• Runnable jar

Command line usage
Launching with the parameter -db and then specifying a database file will make it use that file. (eg java -jar chocolatekoala.jar -db data.ckd)
Launching with no parameters and just a file name will cause it to scan all the images in the directory the image is in and then display that image. (java -jar chocolatekoala.jar image.jpg)
Launching it without anything causes it to create a database file in the directory it was started in.
