i started a thread like this over at the flat assembler forum, of which most of you know that is the Fasm assembler forum.
This thread is for anyone who wants to show off their greatest accomplishment not in just operating system development, but anything programming related. whether its just a a program, an assembler you made, or a multitasking os that supports all hardware and every file system. only good comments aloud, and please no offtopic, lets let the people who are shy to show what skills they have and show it off here, by posting about their greatest accomplishment. you can post pics or just talk about what you created.

have fun, and dont be shy. i would post my operating systemsChronos and aurora but i am far from alpha in builds

Implementing (as a team) enough of POSIX to be able to port and run Apache and PHP on our operating system, and then begin thinking about MySQL without skipping a beat.

That, and actually making it to release. That was one heck of an accomplishment and certainly not an easy one

Writing a JIT compiler. If you know what you're in for, you'd never even try.

My best software is posted in easy to read list format at my site, here:

The best is definitely my OS (Synergy OS), but then the HTTP server is a good one too.

For now, the best software I have made is my own assembler, Hydrogen Assembler. Currently, I can
write my OS with it. The next step is to compile the assembler with itself.

Hi,
This is something I created recently,it not my greatest programming accomplisment. But its a project with good documentation and test cases.The good thing is that it looks very professional and they are a lot users for it (my close family friends and cousins [:)] ) !.Lot many people asked me why I am not selling it.The reason is simple,it contains art work ripped from the internet somewhere and I will be sued to death if I make it publicly available.

It's a galaxian like shooter game with 5 levels.I have written operating systems,compilers,assemblers still no one uses them .You really get satisfied when people look at your project and say "That looks awesome !" . Find the screenshot attached.

Mine would have to be creating a turing complete scripting engine at work that is dynamically typed..
It's very domain specific though.. hence, there is no real way to print things out of the box, but it does provide some interesting ways to access a database.. This I probably shouldn't show though due to conflicts with work.. My boss might not like me showing off a lot of pre-release software..

Mine would have to be, for a group of coders to get together 6 years ago to achieve a goal and are still together today, even though the goal was achieve after 4 year's.

Looks pretty, but Dead Space? EA may not be too happy about that name

uh oh

i think that my greatest programming accomplishment would have to be my rpg and my rpg level editor. my rpg was intended to be an mmo based off of world of warcraft but after i couldn't get c++ to work over an ip address with socket programing i decided to make it an rpg. it uses opengl for graphics, c++ for engine and lua for scripting. my level editor was written using the windows.h library and is written in c++.

I think mine is probably writing my malloc() and free() implementations for my OS. It's always something I've wondered how to do so it was a great learning experience. Also very useful.

I once got a request to write a "simple test interface program" for a company server application. I refused some of the more stupid requirements, added some of my own... and ended up having written the interface for the app, which virtually all new customers from that day onward have been using to connect to the server.

But the greatest thing was when, two or three years later, some customers had rather specific, non-standard requirements (as in, not wanting CSV or XML output, but a ready-to-run SQL script) - and I was able to satisfy the requirement without touching the source, simply by using some previously-unused config options I had added on a whim during design stage.

I felt like a giant that day.
