lithander/MinimalChessEngine
Nov 2020 - Mar 2022
After watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix I got interested in chess. I played a bit against computer programs and it made me curious about writing my own chess engine. This repository and a series of small videos I upload to Youtube after each milestone are documenting my progress.

lithander/Minimal-Bitcoin-Miner
May 2013 - Feb 2021
A very simple, fully functional CPU based Bitcoin Miner in C#. Uses the GETWORK protocol to connect to pool. A great reference implementation if you are trying to understand how Bitcoin mining works. (Edit 2017: Not actually fit for mining - the GETWORK protocol isn't supported anymore by most pools)
