+**AvH-Vertretungsplan** was an app I developed back in 2019 to view the substitution plan of my school more easily, since I disliked the disorganised design of the school's website. The substitution app allowed me to be more quickly informed about my courses, as it notified me about any cancellations and changes in my schedule. It also allowed me to view the canteen offers, even though I'd never eaten at the school's canteen.
+
+The app was initially developed in Java and later converted into Kotlin as part of my Kotlin learning effort. The backend of the app, since the school website required a login to view the substitution plan, ran on a Raspberry Pi 3B using a Python script that scraped the website using Selenium and sent out notifications via Firebase. The Raspberry Pi crashed frequently and the script was not perfect, requiring me to frequently remote into the Pi using VNC, often while I was at school, to edit the script!
+
+Since the app was written for native Android but a few of my classmates had iPhones, I had an iOS version in the works, which was developed entirely on a MacOS VM running on my laptop and debugged using an iPhone simulator in Xcode. The app achieved feature parity with the Android version at one point, but since I lacked funding to pay the $99-a-year fee Apple charges developers, it was never published and thus abandoned.
+
+This app was genuinely one of my most fun projects, not only serving me as a handy tool, but also being a great playground for my programming practice, since it taught me to build UIs, use databases, and more. The app had been downloaded by 250 other students at my school, which I was – and still am – very proud of.

+**Qwark** was an app I used to track relevant information for my time at gymnasium. Initially, it was only meant to track my grades in exams and whatnot, but its capabilities grew to calculate my report card grades and my final grade once I graduated. It was also able to keep simple notes which could be checked off to mark them as done, and it also had a built-in counter I used during lessons to track how often I raised my hand and how often I verbally contributed to classes! A discipline I severely struggled in.
+
+The app was named after Captain Qwark, the clumsy hero figure from the Ratchet & Clank series who never really gets his affairs in order. I suppose this referenced me personally more so than the app, since I was the one who needed help with tracking relevant information – a task for which the app proved very helpful!
+
+The app reached EOL when I graduated from gymnasium, since I had no use for it anymore, and I never made it available to anyone else either.

+In the pursuit of finding a simple app on the Play Store that would allow me to put any kind of text on my home screen, I failed, and all I could find were ad-ridden monstrosities, overfilled with features. To fulfil my own requirements, I developed **Text Basic**, which does exactly one thing: put a text on your home screen. Upon user request, the app has grown minimally since, now allowing for text customisation (text font, text size, background style, colours) and a rotation of texts to display.
+
+Surprisingly, the app garnered quite a signficant user base of >2.000 people, many of whom were sending me bug reports, and some even contributing ideas. Many were also frustrated that the text widgets changed... not understanding how the app works. It was taken down from the Play Store at the same time as [WeserPlaner](/projects/apps/weserplaner).

+**WeserPlaner** is an app I developed to more easily view relevant information during my studies at the University of Bremen. It can download the user's timetable from the university's learning platform Stud.IP, and it can download the menus for all canteens managed by the Studierendenwerk Bremen, allowing the user to filter for dietary preferences as well as hiding items containing substances they are allergic against.
+
+In developing this app, I took heavy inspiration from an earlier project of mine, [AvH-Vertretungsplan](/projects/apps/avhplan), which was an app I developed for a school I used to attend, in order to view the substitution plan as well as the canteen offers more easily. Quite similar!
+
+I stopped work on the app in favour of other projects, notably because I had no significant plans for it. The app was taken down from the Google Play Store after I refused to comply with their new developer guidelines, requiring me to publish my home address (what the actual fuck Google?), and after the Studierendenwerk Bremen updated their page around the start of 2025, the app became nonfunctional.

+**Magician** is a clone of the card game *Wizard*. I've made it primarily to play with friends, but it's also a test for programming client-server multiplayer games. The clients are programmed in Godot, the server in Python, and they communicate via TCP/IP websockets. The game works with 3 to 6 players.
+
+As the corresponding server is not currently online, the game is unplayable, but you can view the game below.

+Two friends of mine and I worked together on a multiplayer game where you can throw magical artifacts at one another. It was developed using the Godot Engine. The game featured multiple character classes utilising artifacts such as fire, ice, black/white holes, wind, and teleports, and also had a money collecting mechanic. Player profile saving and character customisation were available, and there was an array of maps available to play on. Up to four players were supported.
+
+The project is currently on hold as of May 2025.

+**Swords & Stuff** (working title) was an RPG inspired by Dragon Quest IX. Traverse the world with a party of up to 4 characters, each with their individual equiment, skills, and vocations, and fight monsters to gain experience!
+
+This game was my first shot at 2D Unity development, which had proven quite fun, but also a little cumbersome at times. Unfortunately, I will not continue the project in its current form, since even though I don't expect to earn any money from my games, let alone publish them on a commercial platform, Unity's TOS changes in mid-2023 made me reconsider my decision to use the platform and I hence abandoned the project. I used this opportunity to learn to use Godot, which I will use for my future projects.
+
+A working, but very early-in-development version of the game is still up on this website. It features a test overworld in which you can move the cast of four characters: Player1, fraxiom64, proudrat, and Grampa Simpson. The enemies, trolldads, chase you and take you into a battle scene that has a functioning queue, but no damage and health mechanics. You can flee battles. Don't open the inventory – you cannot escape it.

+**Totally Accurate Dating Simulator** is, as the name suggests, a series of particularly realistic dating simulator experiences. Dive into a world of romance as you meet your matches, curious and disappointing. Who will you meet? Will it be someone your type? That's subjective, and the computer will not even slightly attempt to match you with someone suitable. Prepare yourself for matches that are rarely described with "intriguing" and much more frequently with "funny." Discover which of the 28 endings will determine your fate, and lower your expectations. Significantly.
+
+One of these days, I'll make a TADS 3 with 3D characters and an actual matchmaking mechanic. One day...
