	~~===2) Experience===~~
	~~====2.1) What programs/software have you worked on before?====~~

	I have not worked on a program or software as such before, however I have spent much time coding for a game called the Discworld MUD, an online text-based game that is over 20 years old. I started coding for it as a player, writing plugins to enhance both my own and other people's game experience, and then became a developer for the game itself and now code new features for people to play.

	~~====2.3) Have you participated to the Google Summer of Code before? As a mentor or a student? In what project? Were you successful? If not, why?====~~

	~~Not participated before, but looking forward to doing!~~

	~~====2.5) Gaming experience - Are you a gamer?====~~

	~~Yep! Xbox mainly.~~

	~~====2.5.1) What type of gamer are you?====~~

	~~Pretty hardcore. I don't devote my life to playing them though, I much prefer writing them.~~

	~~====2.5.2) What type of games?====~~

	Mostly action, adventure or RPG, although I do like to sink my teeth into the odd puzzle or strategy game here and there. I like games were you have to take time to build resources or level characters mostly.

	~~====2.5.3) What type of opponents do you prefer?====~~

	~~Smart ones! I like playing someone who provides me a challenge, and when that someone is AI I love it more. The sort that throws you a curve ball once in a while, or learns what you did last time.~~

	~~====2.5.4) Are you more interested in story or gameplay?====~~

	~~Gameplay.~~

	~~====2.5.5) Have you played Wesnoth? If so, tell us roughly for how long and whether you lean towards single player or multiplayer.====~~

	I've just started playing it recently, but I'm really enjoying it so far. It's challenging me and a different pace of game to what I've played in recent years. I'm playing single player at the moment, but I imagine being the competitive person I am that I shall move onto multiplayer soon enough.

	====2.6) 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 GSoC. If you have gained commit access to our SVN (during the evaluation period or earlier) please state so.====

	~~None~~

	~~====2.4) Are you already involved with any open source development projects? If yes, please describe the project and the scope of your involvement.====~~

	The Discworld MUD isn't really open source, but I am an extremely active developer there. I am currently re-writing one of the six player guilds, a project in which I am both working on and managing others on. I don't want to give away too much detail on an open wiki in each people stumble across it on google, but I am more than happy to answer questions privately.

	~~<h4>James Heath - AI: Implement a 'total defense' strategy</h4>~~

	My idea is to implement a number of defence mechanisms in which the AI could enact in the event of the conditions surrounding their units, both environmental, physical, personal to that unit and with regards to the position and number of nearby enemy units.
