Fall '07 Programming Competition
This semester ACM members are working together on programs to recruit prospective students to the Computer Science Department. Groups are just now getting started. If you would like to participate in one of the following groups, please contact team leaders for more information on meeting times. Expect more updates soon.
- Bomberman
- Team Leader: Amanda Knotts (alk73@msstate.edu)
- Team Members: Matthew Kolb & Jimmy Pearson
- Updates: Have outline of goals and possible implementation methods. Playing around with client server stuff and board design.
- Tetris
- Team Leader: Thomas Donaldson (tqd2@msstate.edu)
- Team Members: Patrick Hernandez & Brad Reaves
-
Updates: "The team...is still
discussing the development options. We're trying to find a compromise on
development ease, program portability, and performance. Between Java and
C++, we're leaning towards Java. Regular meeting times have yet to be
chosen." - Thomas Donaldson
Past Projects
Tic-Tac-Toe Machine:
This project involved building
a tic-tac-toe game computer with Artificial Intelligence skills. Many
of computer science research areas are to build a computer program
that thinks like a human being. We tried to build a our own version
of the tic-tac-toe machine without a electronic device. This machine
consists of three part. At first, the user enters his/her moves on
the game board, and the operator enter the user's move to the tic-tac-toe
machine. After the machine choose the best move to win the game, it
will show its next movement. This machine was built in 1998, and K'NEX
Industries, Inc. donated the parts.
Goal: to understand protein folding, protein
aggregation, and related diseases
What does Folding@Home do? Folding@Home is a distributed computing
project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and
related diseases. They use novel computational methods and large scale
distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions
of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate
folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine
folding related disease.
How can you help? You can help our project by downloading and running
our client software. Our algorithms are designed such that for every
computer that joins the project, we get a commensurate increase in simulation
speed.
