Git repositories

I started writing code in 2005, with a toy programming language called Dark Basic first and with Java shortly after that. In the past I enjoyed learning different programming languages (C++, J, Python…), but I have recently found more pleasure in writing software in plain C.

You can find all my git repositories at git.tronto.net or on my github page. You can clone a repository with git clone https://git.tronto.net/[NAME].

Here are some highlights of what you can find in my git repositories.

Programs and scripts

• nissy: A Rubik’s cube solver, intended primarily as a tool for practicing FMC. Since april 2023 the project has been split into the FMC trainer nissy-fmc and the optimal solver nissy-nx. Both are work in progress. The stable version is available at nissy-classic, and is maintained with bugfixes. Check out also the project’s homepage.
• sdep: A minimalistic “date+event” line parser. Can be used in combination with some shell scripts as a reminder / calendar application.
• scripts: Various scripts for Unix-like systems.

Tutorials

• fmctutorial: an in-depth tutorial for the Rubik’s cube Fewest Moves Challenge, or FMC.

Math courses and programs

Here are some scripts I wrote and lecture notes for some courses I taught at the University of Luxembourg (2018-2022).

• mathsoftware: a full course (3 ECTS) on LaTeX and SageMath.
• preplogic: notes and exercises for two introductory lectures on elementary logic.
• kummer-degrees: a SageMath script for computing the degrees of Kummer extensions of the rational numbers.
• arithmeticbilliard: a python program for drawing the path of 2- and 3-dimensional arithmetic billiards.

Miscellanea

• My personal website: source files (mostly markdown) and build scripts for this website.
• My git hooks, used to keep my web git instance up do date automatically when I push new changes. See this blog post.
• Platonic solids in TikZ (LaTeX).
