Zarel

Hi. I'm Guangcong Luo, better known as Zarel. I develop software, both desktop software and Web applications. Here's some of the work I've done.

Things I made

These are projects that are completely or mostly my work - since some of them are open-source projects, others have contributed various things, but everything major was done by me.

Pokemon Showdown! pokemonshowdown.com

By far my largest project. An online Pokemon battle simulator.

Did everything: UI, graphics engine, game engine, website, authentication system, and scaled it up to handle thousands of concurrent users.

9 million visits/month, 20000 peak concurrent users, 3400 GitHub forks.
Sublime Commands marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Zarel.sublime-commands

Adds Sublime-Text-like "transpose" and "split into lines" commands into VS Code.
Regexfree regexfree.k55.io

Free-space regex compiler, for zero-dependency free-space regexes in JS code.

Things I've contributed to

Warzone 2100 wz2100.net

A real-time strategy game where the player commands the forces of "The Project" in a battle to rebuild the world.

I was a developer for Warzone 2100 from 2009 to 2011. I maintained game balance and documentation (see above), and have contributed artwork, AI improvements, interface improvements, documentation, and many bugfixes.
