Dinis Marques's projects

dbaltaza · Software Developer at 42 Lisbon · Lisbon, PT

I'm a software developer at 42 Lisbon. I like low-level C, algorithms that have to be fast, and making things you can actually play with. These are the things I've built; each one has a write-up on what the problem was, what I built and the part that was hard.

Projects

• metro

  Python · featured

  Lisbon metro sim in pixel art: watch the four lines run, step into any station, board a train and ride it.

  Pac-Man in Python, built as a duo with sylvzzz: a new maze every level and four ghosts that each hunt you differently.

  Turns a sentence into a JSON function call with a 0.6B model using constrained decoding — parseable by construction, not by luck.

  Multithreaded twist on the Dining Philosophers: coders compete for shared dongles, with FIFO/EDF scheduling.

  TypeScript · featured

  A game-console portfolio where every project is a pre-rendered disc: Vite + TypeScript, no framework, and a paint budget the tests measure.

  Maze generator with multiple algorithms, pathfinding solvers and terminal visualization.
