Jonatan Saari

Hello there!

Life is like a project, that one lives and it's a project!

My name is Jonatan Saari, a programmer. I lost my hearing when I was around 3 years old and today I'm a sign language user.

My knowledgebase

Electronics

I like experimenting electronics things.

Web Development

I prefer to use Linux for backend development, everything from database to scripting, free as in freedom.

Mathematics

Mathematics is also a beautiful thing when one actually realized the freedom of creativity.

Game Development

I like to play video games but what I like even more is developing them! Unity is my personal choice of game engine for making games.

Digital Art

I like to draw too.

Virtual environment

I prefer to use Blender for creating 3D objects and export them to different projects.

TeckenPOP

WebGL, JavaScript

TeckenPOP

WebGL, JavaScript | Posted 24 June 2022

"TeckenPOP" was a collaborative project I worked on with another programmer approximately five years ago. For this project, I wrote WebGL and JavaScript code to create an interpreter screen. The unique feature of TeckenPOP is that its window can be freely moved within the web page and smoothly zoomed in or out to the desired size. Additionally, in the lower left corner, there is a settings button that allows users to choose from a selection of background colors and adjust the transparency of the entire TeckenPOP window. These adjustments can be made at any time during playback.

If you are interested, you can find the report written in Swedish.

Simple MySQL

PHP, Hack | Posted 24 June 2022

Three years ago, I developed my own PHP and Hack database library to enhance development efficiency and ensure maximum security.

Here's an example of how the library works:

$query = $db->query('SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = :id', ['id' => 1]);

With this library, you can execute database queries in a single line of code.

You can access the GitHub project for this library here.

Unity Game | Posted 24 June 2022

Two years ago, I developed a mobile game at work that incorporated motion capture technology to record sign language for gameplay.

The game, called "Pirate Ship," is a short mobile game centered around sign language. In the game, you assume the role of a pirate and assist in solving a problem on your pirate ship. All characters in the game communicate through sign language. For those interested in learning more about sign language, Swedish and English subtitles are provided.

You can download the game from the following platforms:
