Welcome to pretopia.net, the personal website of Thijs van As. I am a Computer Engineer, with deep interest in high-level software & (inter)net architectures, as well as low-level digital hardware. More about me can be found elsewhere.
This website presents some of my projects, as well as some ramblings and other things. I also made some papers available that I (co-)authored.
The projects on this website are divided into hardware and software projects. Most projects are available under an open source license through pretopia.googlecode.com or r-vex.googlecode.com (dedicated to the ρ-VEX project).
A mobile version of this site is available at m.pretopia.net, providing quick access to my games on mobile devices like phones.
An overview of the projects on this site:
Hardware
- ρ-VEX: a scalable and reconfigurable VLIW microprocessor architecture, my Master's project
- Arkanoid: a hardware-only remake of the classic bricks-and-pad game
- FPGA: miscellaneous projects, like a UART controller
Web Games (HTML5)
- BrickIt: a JavaScript/HTML5 implementation of the Arkanoid/Breakout family of games
- BounceIt: a JavaScript/HTML5 game that challenges you to bounce a ball up as high as possible
- SweepIt: a JavaScript implementation of the game Mine Sweeper
- FloodIt: a JavaScript implementation of the game FloodIt
- Sudoku Solver: a (naive) brute-force solver for Sudoku puzzles, implemented in PHP
- SketchIt: a mobile, platform independent HTML5 doodling app
