CLI Text-to-Braille Binary Translator
Description:
A command-line utility developed in C for translating ASCII text into Braille dot patterns and visualizing them in the terminal. This project focuses on low-level data manipulation, custom binary file format engineering (.brl), and data integrity protocols.
Key Technical Highlights:
Custom Binary Protocol: Designed a specialized file format including a 16-byte header with a "magic number" signature and versioning.
Data Integrity: Implemented a checksum-based verification system to ensure file consistency during the read/write process.
Bitwise Rendering: Developed a custom rendering engine that uses bitmasking to map binary codes into a visual 3x2 dot matrix (using O and . characters).
Standard Compliance: Engineered logic for Braille prefixes (number signs and capitalization indicators) to follow standard Braille encoding rules.
