Hello! I'm Simple Sandman! 👋
Console.WriteLine("Coder by day, gamer by night");My real name is Kenton Standard, but my online handle is Simple Sandman. On my personal time if I am not gaming or streaming on Twitch, I am a .NET developer with various side projects. I have to say, C# has been a dream for me to write in. I have always been fascinated with the C++ syntax, but the versatility and ease of maintenance C# brings has been nothing less than fun!
Current Personal Projects
I am building a Twitch Chat Bot for my Twitch channel. This allows me to stream my favorite games knowing my partner-in-crime has my back! It is always awesome to tell people that I have written this from scratch while shooting bad guys or jumping over obstacles because it gives me a chance to tell them one of my biggest passions.
I also have a community API that is open-source for a mobile anime game called, Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. I even have a loader app to help reload data into either a SQL Server database or MySQL/MariaDB.
Here I have a .NET CLI implementation of rockisch's umamusu-utils script for Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. This allows you to download the assets from the game's meta file via .exe and appsettings.json.
Past Personal Projects
I have built my first Visual Studio Extension called, Json Formatter that will minify or prettify your JSON file inside your code window. This is compatibile with Visual Studio 2017/2019/2022. This is open-source if you want to contribute to the extension.
I have a library called, Fate/Grand Calculator. This is based on the mobile anime game, Fate/Grand Order (which is built in Unity 2018) and that will help figure out combat calculations. This will be used for my upcoming .NET MAUI app which will simulate node combat and help manage your personal Chaldea because let's be real here, who wants to input their servants and CEs over and over again?
Past Major Contributions
When I was playing on a popular Red Dead Redemption 2 role-playing server, I wanted to contribute to the back-end. I have provided some code snippets to various C# projects inside VORP. Though my biggest contribution was the rework of the entire project, VORP Housing. When I first cloned the project, it would not even compile. So after just getting it up and going again, I had to personally rework all of the code that was not up to .NET and VORP standards. Not only the housing resource got a major upgrade (from 0.45 ms to 0.09 ms), I was able to add further stability and enhancements for both users (server owner/player) and developers.
