Macro program that takes a recording of inputs and plays them back in real time. Final project for Software Engineering class.
Constraint Satisfaction Problem Solver (Cryptarithmetic)

Final project for Theory of Computing was to make a spam filter by simulating the steps in a DFA that we modeled on paper, but in C/C++. It was required to find and indicate which emails were spam.
Clean YouTube Viewer Application
