• 👋 Hi, I’m Marcell Perger
• 👀 I’m interested in programming, maths and chess ♟
• 🌱 I’m currently studying CS at the University of Cambridge
• 📫 How to reach me: marcell.perger.1@gmail.com
• StackOverflow: MarcellPerger

My projects:

• Adblocker bookmarklet: It sits in your bookmarks bar, you click on it, it removes the ads - simple!
• Minecraft clone (semi-abandoned): I wanted to learn Javascript, so I made very basic Minecraft-style 'game'
• Arcanar: A web implementation of the board game Arcana Rising built using Svelte + Python. Work in progress. Actually decent code quality.
• Various smaller things including:
  • A programming language: incomplete, work-in-progress language that is compiled to Scratch. Why? Fun.
  • Sudoku solver and generator: not very advanced techniques but creates sudokus that are a little more challenging (around 'hard' on most websites/newspapers)
  • Connect 4 bot (private repo): A bot for connect 4 written in C++ (not great, just standard alpha-beta pruning with a few extra stuff)
• Tiny things (very little time spent on these):
  • Mandelbrot set visualizer: A hybird Python-Rust Mandelbrot set visualiser
  • LMC interpretter: A collection of interpreters for Little Man Computer assembly
  • Neural network implementation: A neural network implementation in Rust (based on my previous non-Git one in Python). Made before ChatGPT came out, before AI was hype.
• Code quality varies massively, from really bad to acceptable (my code quality standards are very high)
• I can tell how much I've grown as a developer just from looking at my old code and seeing how differently I would do things now
• Note that some of the above projects are very much ancient (look at the dates on the repo if available) and I would do many things differently in them now.

Programming languages I know (in roughly decreasing order of familiarity):

• Python 🐍
  • I'm very experienced (over 5 years) with 'vanilla' Python (i.e. when without big frameworks/libraries)
  • I've worked with Flask a bit
• Javascript/Typescript
  • Node.js
  • Svelte
  • Vue (well at least I knew some over a year ago)
• HTML & CSS
• Java ☕ (I know most of the language features, though I have little experience with common libraries)
• C (though I haven't written C code in ages)
• C++
• A bit of Rust 🦀 (the elegant higher-level side, not really the lower-level lifetimes stuff)
• Bash/sh (though rather basic stuff only)

Other tools/skills I know/use:

• Git
• Github (well, obviously, since you're seeing this on Github):
  • Issues, PRs, all the basics
  • Github projects
  • Github actions
• If I don't know something I Google it ("Google-fu")
• Markdown
• LaTeX
• Tools from NPM I use:
  • ESLint
  • Jest
  • Puppeteer
  • Prettier
  • Vite
• IDEs:
  • Pycharm
  • VSCode
  • IntelliJ IDEA
  • Visual Studio
  • CLion
• Part-time (dual-boot) Arch (EndeavourOS) user

Things I want to learn:

• Kotlin (i.e. cool Java++)
• Go

Things I probably should learn:

• React
• Java frameworks

I should really create a blog or something... (but how much of it to make from scratch and how much existing tools to use?)
