Another piece of software I’m opening up by licensing it with GPLv3. This application allows you to compare text files with a focus on speed and handling larger files through temporary file buffering. Visit the GitHub page here . I also have the first release compiled with Visual Studio’s publish tool if you don’t want to deal with that but want to try the application out. Help me out through donating (Paypal).

As I’ve started to consider getting back into computer work, I’m trying to refresh my memory and grow further. Today I released, with the GPLv3 license, a 2D tile based map editor I wrote in C# WinForms. If you are into software and game development this might be of interest to you! The video doesn’t go into programming, but I describe what it is currently capable of. Maybe in the future I’ll do a video series explaining the code.

A few years later I ended up improving it a bit and using it in the development of an Android game (that is in an unfinished state)...

This article will be more about concepts than code. I’m not sure how ebay, and indirectly Impact the affiliate network, feel about programmatic website interaction. I’m also writing this well after I had created a working version of the program, so I’m working off of what information I gather after the fact. At one point, ebay was converting their affiliate linking system to a new format. The issue I had was hundreds of old links I had to re-create. Some aspects aren’t easily automatable like going through YouTube’s video descriptions. I don’t trust 3rd party tools linking to my YouTube account and I haven’t tried to roll my own.
