About the Project

Gionnino9000 is the team I took part in the Tablut Challenge 2022 with, a competition organized for the Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence M course at Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna. Our agent — an AI player capable of playing the board game Tablut — is called Tavoletta.

The rules are the interesting part of a competition like this one: your agent connects to a server running the game engine, and it has one minute per move. Not one minute of thinking on your gaming rig, either: everything runs on a virtual machine with 4 CPUs, 8 GB of RAM, no GPU and no internet connection. Whatever your agent is going to do, it has to do it there.

Waste Service

About the Project

WasteService is a distributed software system implementing a differentiated waste disposal service. It’s made of several application components, designed to run on nodes with heterogeneous architectures: a mobile device, a Raspberry Pi and headless nodes.

I developed it with my university colleagues TryKatChup and Raffaele Battipaglia for the Software Systems Engineering M course at Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, following the SCRUM agile framework.

The Goal

The point of the course was to simulate the commission of a software system to an agile SCRUM team. The customer was the professor himself, Antonio Natali, who handed us a requirements document and a set of supporting tools to integrate into the project — and who played the customer role for real, sprint review after sprint review.

ROQuiz

About the Project

ROQuiz is a cross-platform quiz application I developed to help me and my colleagues study the theory for the course Operational Research M, at Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna.

I wrote the first version in Java/JavaFX in about half a day, a few days before the exam. Once I passed it, I rewrote the whole thing in Dart, using it as an excuse to learn mobile development with Flutter. Since then the project has slowly turned into a small community effort: other students opened issues and pull requests with bug fixes and new questions, and the question pool grew from the ~90 questions I started with to the 119 currently shipped with the app.
