Christian Azzam
AKA - MetallicGoat
I am a 19 year old aspiring software developer from Canada. I am currently enrolled in my second year of Engineering Systems & Computing at the University of Guelph. Online, I go by MetallicGoat. I am self taught in Java, and have 3 years of experience with it. I learned Java though working on Spigot plugins, and I am currently trying to teach myself Javascript, HTML, and CSS through the making of this site. This portfolio contains some projects I have worked on, some photos I have taken, as well as some background about them.
About Me
Software Projects
These are some projects I have worked on. The little bubble over top of the icons show what the project was made for, and what it's made with. Most are completely my own, from start to finish, and for the ones that are not (ie. collaborative project) it will be mentioned in the project card description
Status: ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
MBedwars
This project was NOT created by me, I help maintain it (I am not the main maintainer). It is the largest project I work on by a mile. It is made up of over 600 files. It is closed source, and it generally goes for 20 euros a copy. I have learned so much from working on this project, and have had so much fun playing around with what it can do. This is a closed source project.
Status: ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
MBedwars Tweaks
By far, my largest personal project (I contribute to larger projects). I have a love/hate relationship with this project. I have rewritten so many parts of this project so many times as my java skills have improved over the years. It is a colletion of various tweaks that were deemed to insignificant as an MBedwars feature.
Status: ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Physics Balls
An app that tries to model 2D ball physics using ridged bodies created with the Godot game engine, with Rapier. The gravity of the balls is determined by the device's accelerometer (if present), as well as touch points. I intend to post this on the Google Play Store at some point as an android app. As of early 2025, it is still closed source.
Status: MAINTENANCE MODE
Gen-Splitter
The oldest one of my project's that I still maintain. An addon for MBedwars that splits resources equally amongst players. Its very simple, but very effective.
Status: MAINTENANCE MODE
Prize Commands
My least favorite project. It is a very useful MBedwars addon, but not much fun to work on. It makes it easy for users to reward their players for playing games, and progressing.
Status: MAINTENANCE MODE
Extra-Special-Items
My favorite MBedwars addon! I created it to add some fun new items into the game. I learned a lot about timers/schedulers in java while working on this project. I find it the most enjoyable to work on as I get to be creative with how my custom items work.
Status: ON HOLD
IS4P
A website for a dog rescue called infinite support four paws. I had to put this project hold (School), but plan to come back to it soon. The plan is to move to next js (currently is using react and react-router), and migrate from css modules, to tailwind css.
