Basics
Hello, you've found my SOC project proposal page. If you want to see the answers to the Wesnoth SOC student questionnaire they are here. This page is mostly a trimmed down version of that (some of it is exactly the same), with some additions to the project proposal section. If you want to know some little facts about me (such as some of my favorite NES games) you'll have to go read the questionnaire. Feel free to contact me via email at cjhopman|ATTT|gmail.com
Anyway, my name is Chris Hopman-- I go by cjhopman on irc, forum, etc-- and I am in my third year of my undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I am majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics and will be graduating spring '09.
I want to participate in summer of code because it is basically a once in a lifetime opportunity. That is, it is a chance to become a much better programmer, a chance to gain experience working on a real project, a chance to be mentored by an experienced programmer, a chance to become a member of the development team of a great game, a chance to join the community of that great game, a chance to make something that improves that community and that game, a chance to spend a summer doing something I love, and on and on... I mean, it's just an amazing opportunity.
Open Source and Gaming
Sadly, I am not currently involved with any open source development projects. However, I have, for a while now, been interested in becoming involved, and my experience with the Wesnoth community in the past few weeks has lit that spark that I needed and I will continue to be involved in open source development, regardless of my involvement in Summer of Code.
Gaming experience
Well… I remember playing the first Mario Bros. on the NES when I was 5. At that same time I started playing computer games, oh were those ever fun. Ever since, I’ve been hooked. Since then, I’ve enjoyed all types of games, but primarily strategy games and role-playing games.
Do I prefer story or gameplay? That's tough, and it depends on the game. For example, the Civilization series all have basically no story, but I love the games. However, almost all RPGs that I enjoy are because of the story, not the gameplay.
