Projects
As a software engineer, I love working with code and make programs in my free time. I'm also a big fan of open source software (and hardware). So, some of my perosnal projects get released here under the Buzzqrd pseudonym.
Here you can find a list of my projects, links to the code, and some information about them.
mbmp
mbmp is a simple program for reading and writing to BMP files in C. It is meant to be extremely small and easily added into any project. This project was a small and simple experiment. I don't think that this project will be receiving any more updates. I wrote it a while ago and have found much cleaner ways to do what I did in this project. I do, however, fully intend to make another program for C interactions with BMP files that will be fully-featured and fully compatible with all kinds of BMP files. I would love ofr it to be a truely useful way to interact with images for simple C projects.
grocer
Have you ever wanted to scan barcodes in images with Rust? Well here's a mediocre way to do it! This was a very fun project that I wanted to do for a long time. This project is able to (relitively) reliably read UPC-A barcodes that are placed laterally in the middle of an image. At first, I thought that there was no Rust crate yet for reading UPC barcodes from images. Only after completing the first release of the project did I realize that rxing exists :\.
While this project likely won't get any more updates, I am still very interested in barcodes and I want to work on a better, faster, more flexible version written in C with very open permissions for anyone to use for any reason.
msteg
msteg is a mini, simple steganography tool that lets you write data into a bmp file. This project uses my mbmp tool to handle BMP files. This project is more of a fun thing to play with than something really useful. It would probably be very easy to use a tool that would detect a BMP file with identifiers of tampering. However, it can be fun if used with friends and to play around with.
