OBJECTIVE: To create interactive tools and technology pushing the limits of human emotion and storytelling in games |
 Ted Hung has
always been intrigued with the ability for computers to act as a medium for artistic
expression, creative storytelling, and emotional conveyance.After graduating from Duke University with a B.S. in Computer Science and a certificate in Neuroscience, Ted obtained a Master of Entertainment Technology at Carnegie Mellon University. With over 6+ years experience in games programming (EA, THQ, Lucasarts), he has programmed all aspects of games with an emphasis on tools, effects, and gameplay. Ted's current project involves creating story based games on Xbox 360 under the label Moment Games. In his spare time, his interests include origami, anime, ping pong, snowboarding, traveling, and the occasional extreme sport. |

Office DisOrders Office DisOrders is a game created using Microsoft XNA for the Xbox 360 and released on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Office DisOrders is a satirical simulation game, spanning 5 working days, where you must maintain a good work life balance while confronting everyone's greatest fears about working in the corporate world: reorganizations, promotions/demotions, layoffs, busywork, bailouts, and outside consultants.

Nibbles Extreme Nibbles Extreme is a game programmed in DirectX 8.1 using Visual C++ .Net. The basic concept of the game is the same as the original Nibbles. The player controls a snake and attempts to consume as many items as possible without colliding into walls or itself. The difficulty occurs because each item consumed causes the snake to grow in length. Nibbles Extreme not only takes the traditional game of Nibbles into the third dimension, it also adds many new features as well, such as moving objects with realistic bouncing physics, the ability to dig and jump, and dynamic camera movement. Nibbles Extreme was developed during the summer in a month and a half. It is still under development and future capabilities include more multiplayer options, real-time reflections and lighting effects, items and terrain that affect the movement characteristics of the snake, and a level editor for the easy creation of new levels.

Building Virtual Worlds Building Virtual Worlds is a class taught at Carnegie Mellon University centered around creating interactive virtual experiences using a head mounted display. The virtual worlds are created using a tool developed at Carnegie Mellon University called Alice. During the class, scripters, modelers, painters, and intangibles are grouped together to work on five two-week projects exploring the limits of the medium. As a scripter, I programmed the worlds using Java, Python, and the Alice scripting interface. Each world went through the entire development process from idea conception to implementation.

The Silver Lining Prototype User Interface This program demonstrates the user interface designed for the The Silver Lining, a fan made sequel to King's Quest. The idea was to have a rotating ring of flame with selectable items. When an item is selected which includes subitems, a secondary ring of flame appears with the subobjects available for the selected item. The flame ring was done with a particle system using animated textures. When the flame ball is not selected it shrinks down to a small ball until the user clicks on it again. This prototype provides a proof of concept for the user interface. [Download] [Source Code] |

Cloud Generation Wizard The Cloud Generation Wizard was a tool I programmed while interning at Evans & Sutherland. The Cloud Generation Wizard was used to model realistic realtime clouds using particle systems. The program allowed the user to create best fit axes in three directions, generate different cloud layers, and modify cloud density. This tool allowed for the particle system associated with the cloud to have a more realistic and natural looking shape than a computer generated set of particles. |

Neural Network Simulator The Neural Network Simulator is a program to allow for the rapid visual prototyping of neural networks using a graphical user interface. Neurons, stimulators, and recorders are placed in the workspace using the mouse. Connections are formed by clicking and dragging between neurons, stimulators, and recorders, and properties of each primitive in the network can be modified by right clicking on the primitive. This program was created using Visual C++ during an independent study that lasted two semesters. The Schmajuk-DiCarlo backpropagation model was implemented and confirmed using the Neural Network Simulator. [Download] [Source Code] [Paper1 | Paper2] |

JFLAP - Java Formal Languages and Automata Package JFLAP is a package of graphical tools which can be used as an aid in learning the basic concepts of Formal Languages and Automata Theory. During my summer working with the Duke University Research in Object Oriented Languages, I added the ability to perform conversions to and from regular expressions and finite state automata. I also worked on Pâté, a visual and interactive tool for parsing and transforming grammars. I programmed a novel visualization for showing the parse tree for context free grammars.

HyperReader HyperReader is a speed reading program created in Visual C++ using MFC. The goal is to incorporate several speed reading methods into one program to allow users to discover the most appropriate speed reading methods for their needs. It includes five speed reading methods: Rapid Serial Visual Presentation, South North Scrolling, Ticker-Tape, Teletype, and Window. The idea spawned from an idea presented to me by a professor.
