Hi I'm

Santiago Farall

A Software Developer from Uruguay

A brief Biography

I was born in Paysandú in the 2001, from my childhood I showed some interests in computers and electronics, possibly instilled by my uncle. At the age of 8 (or 9, I don't remember) I started to write little programs in Python and games in Scratch. And at 14, I made my "biggest" project at that moment, a little 2D clone of Minecraft written in Java with LWJGL and OpenGL 2.1, a couple of years later I started to write more complex programs, some OS developing, Android apps and web pages. Now I'm 22, I'm studying at UTEC university in Fray Bentos and started to look a first job to gain more experience.

Software and Technologies

From my starts to today I used and learned a lot of tools and programming languages, some of these are listed in the images below

Projects

Actually I only have one public project in my GitHub account, mostly beacause I never uploaded, finished, have sensible date or are in my old GitLab account, or simply I don't like the final state of it. Anyways, this is my (actual) list of public projects:

KOPMod

As a rocket fan, when Kerbal Space Program 2 was launched I immediately buy it, but the game had a poor performance. So I wrote this little mod to slightly increase the performance, and surprisingly it worked, some people went from 8 FPS to 20. As new patches are released to the game, the performance is getting better, so I suspend the development of the mod for a while. I made the mod in 48 hours after the release of the game, so isn't well programmed, but works.

TeLoFunca

TeLoFunca was our end-of-year project during the second year of high school. It's essentially a copy of Can You RUN It, and the name is a play on words with "funcar," which means "works well" in Spanish (at least in Uruguay). We couldn't use any database, so the data is in multiple JSON files. Additionally, it incorporates a (mini)template system. I plan to upload it to this page in the future.

Quads

It was my first attempt to make a videogame, a 2D Minecraft clone written in Java and LWJGL2 (is the same project that is mentioned in the biography). I was 14 years old at the time when I worked on it, so it is a very special project for me.
