Basics that haven't been covered
My preferred email address is tim (dot) vinc (at) gmail.com. I want to participate in summer of code because I am very enthusiastic about open source, I love Battle for Wesnoth, and I'd like to be able to work in my field of interest (Computer Science) this summer.
Experience that hasn't been covered yet
I have not participated in GSoC before, but I'm really looking forward to it.
I plan on using XP programming. It is my preferred method of programming and I think it will be very effective in this situation as I will be communicating with the player community often and constantly testing little parts of the AI as I build it.
Gaming Experience
Yes, I would consider myself a gamer. I play all kinds of games, my favorites include: Mass Effect, the Exile series, the Civilization series, Master of Orion II and III, the original Unreal Tournament, any game by Blizzard, any Prince of Persia game, Super Mario Bros All Stars (since its got all the best Mario games other than Mario 64), the Elder Scrolls series, Halo II, Gears of War, NBA Inside Drive, and Fight Night: Round 3.
As you can see my gaming tastes range far. I usually prefer playing against AI controlled opponents, but in shooters, sports, and many strategy games, I really enjoy playing against live opponents.
I'm interested in both story and gameplay. As a writer, I do look for a great story though.
Yes, I've played Wesnoth, mostly single player. I've played a couple online, but I generally play single player as I don't have to worry about sitting still for several hours.
Communication Skills
I am very fluent in written English (as I'm an English minor and it is my first language).
I consider myself very good at interacting with other players.
I fell that I can give and receive advice well, and I can consider the merits of advice I am given.
