About me
|
Andy Korth is a computer science major attending the University of Minnesota, Morris.
This website was written by hand using TextWrangler in php and css. It is designed to
be friendly to all standards compliant browsers and easy on the bandwidth.
Please note that I am going to make no attempt to keep any of my web pages organized,
pretty, or sensical. Don't consider anything I express here to be true or representative of
my actual view or feelings.
For my recent publications, please take a look at my publications page.
I've recently updated it with my paper on Modeling and Simulation with Agents. I found this
topic very interesting and might pursue it further.
I've also posted my previous paper, Predicting Virtual Economies. It is
a neural networks project that I worked on over the fall of 2006. I had excellent results using a neural
network to predict the prices on the World of Warcraft auction house.

Notable Projects:
|
- Eternal Realms- This
java project is a graphical Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. A
server and a client are implemented in Java 1.4. Working on this project has
been extraordinarily helpful to my learning of a variety of advanced concepts.
These features and concepts are detailed on the Eternal Realms page.
- MMORPG1 - This java project was
for the UMM course Software Development. It inspired a much improved and
totally redesigned MMORPG2. (Project inactive, fortunately)
- Dawn of Time- The DoT codebase is one
of the most advanced MUD codebases in the world. The Dawn of Time code is derived
from the Oblivion 2.0 codebase, which is derived from ROM 2.4, from MERC 2.1, all
the way back to Diku.
- Myridian Fields- A DoT mud started by the
codebase founder, Kalahn. It contains all the code for the future version of DoT, in
addition to custom code.
- Realms of Aloreth- A mud based on the Dawn
of Time codebase. I included some very novel ideas that are not commonly
seen in MUDs and even less common in conventional RPGs. Most notable
was the classless player system where advancement was based on a series of
skill trees. Details are on the project webpage, which is still up, as of the
time of this writing. (Project inactive, resources diverted to other projects)
- Web Pages- As most of my brothers and sisters in the
field, I too have suffered through web site design work. Since I feel a need to post long-defunct
sites, I have included some old garbage, in addition to professional work. You guess
which is which!
