Simple LaTeX

A set of newly defined and redefined LaTeX commands in order to make typing complex equations easier! It has been a part of all my LaTeX code written since November 2020! It includes:

Commands for containers like abs, floor and ceiling functions, etc.
Easier representation of iterations (summations and stuff)
Simplified notation for combinatorics, differential and integral calculus
And a lot more ...

This is actively updated as and when new features are realised. View the repository here.

The Verbose Programming Language

A easily readable, dynamically typed, stack-based programming language that highly resembles English! I have implemented arrays, loops and conditionals, so this programming language is technically Turing complete*


                        # A verbose program intended to showcase it's current features

                        say "Hello, World!" # Prints "Hello, World!"

                        

                        # Prints firstName and lastName together

                        firstName is "Jane"

                        lastName is "Doe"

                        print "Full name: " + (firstName and lastName)

                        

                        # Finds hypotenuse of a triangle

                        a = 3

                        b = 4

                        print "Hypotenuse = " + sqrt of (a square + b square)

                        

                        # Proves a trignometric identity

                        angle = 20

                        print "sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = " + (sin(angle)^2 + cos(angle)^2)

                        

                        # Calculates and prints speed of light from predefined constants

                        print "Speed of light: " + 1 / sqrt($mu_0 * $epsilon_0)

                        

                        # Calculates and prints mean

                        numbers are [1 2 3 4 5]

                        print "Mean: " + (mean of numbers)

                        

                        # Prints if given number is prime or composite

                        num = 18

                        i = 1

                        num_factors = 0

                        

                        while i < num { 

                            if num % i == 0 { 

                             increment num_factors 

                            } 

                             increment i 

                            } 

                            

                            if num_factors > 1 {

                             print "Composite"

                            } else {

                             print "Prime"

                            }

Insights on Game Mechanics

Since I not only play video games but also develop them, I sometimes pay attention to various game mechanics that are operating under the hood. I am trying to compile all of them into a single text. This is a work in progress. You can download the latest version of the PDF from here.

Rangoli Maker

I have always been fascinated with the aesthetics and symmetry of rangoli art. While I was bored waiting for my PhD to start, I wrote a bunch of scripts that allows you to create and save lattice-based rangoli art. It also allows you to leverage rotational symmetries (C3, C4, C6) in the system. You can find the scripts and the instructions in the repository here. Below are some designs I made using this software.
