| − | <b>Write a small introduction to yourself.</b><br/>
| |
| − | My name is Kyle Kemp, I'm a first year student at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, full time computer science major, emphasizing in software engineering. At my university, I'm a part of a game development club, a gaming club (rpg/board games/etc), and I turn 19 this summer. Ive been doing programming-related work since I was a freshman in high school.

| − | <b>1.4) Why do you want to participate in summer of code?</b><br/>
| |
| − | All I've really ever done are my personal projects (of which the list is growing very large), but I've never worked in a commercial environment with an actual project. My game development club is starting to flesh out ideas for *something,* which will at least give me some experience.

| − | <b>1.6) If you have contributed any patches to Wesnoth, please list them below. You can also list patches that have been submitted but not committed yet and patches that have not been specifically written for Wesnoth. If you have gained commit access to our SVN (during the evaluation period or earlier) please state so.</b><br/>

| − | I have not committed anything.

| − | <h3>Experience</h3>
| |
| − | I've been working with Java for around two years now, and before that I worked with a C-like language called Dream Maker (http://www.byond.com/developer/) for three years. In addition, I've worked with, but am not much experience with: C++, C, Python, JavaScript (as an addon to Java via ScriptEngineManager, and as a website addon via jQuery), PHP. I have also worked with MySQL extensively via Java, PHP, and Dream Maker.

| |
| − | <b>2.1) What programs/software have you worked on before?</b><br/>
| |
| − | Most of the following are my own personal projects (and most of the projects aren't well explained, I apologize):
| |
| − | http://code.google.com/p/ircrpgbot/ -- this is an IRC RPG-esque bot that I started when I wanted to have some form of roleplay/final fantasy-esque battles on IRC.
| |
| − | http://code.google.com/p/idlemaster/ -- this is another IRC bot, but it's aimed more towards idling. I didn't like what IdleRPG has to offer, so I made my own spin of it, and those who "played" it said they much preferred it.
| |
| − | http://code.google.com/p/kellyirc/ -- this is my own spin on an IRC client. It's nowhere near done, but it is the only of my projects that has had active commits from other people (albeit, that has slowed down)
| |
| − | http://code.google.com/p/mantrarpg/ -- this is one of my RPGs-in-creation (made with BYOND). Again, nowhere near done, but it is something I have done.
| |
| − | http://code.google.com/p/vivio/ -- another IRC bot, this one is actually meant to be useful. I made it so people can submit modules to me, and they can be included in the bot. I have had successful contributions, but this was before it was moved to google code, and most of the author tags should still be preserved.
| |
| − | http://code.google.com/p/thesaloon/ -- this is another BYOND project I'm involved in. It's just a simple chatroom, but it's something I worked on collaboratively with others.
| |
| − | I have also created a full-length platformer for up to three people, called Doomed Dreams (http://www.byond.com/hub/divinetraveller/doomeddreams), the source is available as zip (http://www.byond.com/members/DivineTraveller/files/pixel-movement_src.zip), but I don't have it stored as a google code project, sorry.
