Rhys Mahon
iOS Developer
I started programming in high school when introduced to CodeChef. A simple competition between classmates using Python developed into a passion for Competitive Programming using C++. The fulfilment from a working solution cannot be matched. My interest has now broadened into security exploits and mobile application development. I have a love for understanding how technologies work.
Connect 4 AI
Connect 4 AI is an app that allows a user to play connect 4 on an iOS mobile device against a computer AI. This was made so that users could play the game without the need to connect to an opponent.
Skills and Technologies used:
-
Implemented a combination of the MiniMax algorithm and Monte Carlo tree search to reduce response time.
-
Used Programmatic code to create the AI algorithm, create token classes and setup AutoLayout constraints.
-
Used Storyboard to recreate the UI design
Manic Mower
Manic Mower is a mobile app that provides a fun, interactive lawn mower puzzle game. The aim of the game is to cut the long grass once without going over the same patch twice.
