Projects

Farmaide

May 2011 to Present

Members:Amr Saad, Justin Dawson, Jacob Hobbs, Ryan Hammer, John Butler

Our team created an automation tool for Facebook's game Farmville. We engineered a user-customizable

program that can be set to rake in cash, merit, and experience points while our customers are busy working,

attending school, or sleeping.

Language Recognition Project

July 2010 to Present

Members:Amr Saad, Ryan Hammer

Created a program that recognizes Prairie Dog barks using sound frequency analysis. The application mapped

out the barks and translated the subject and verb forms of the sentence into something we can analyze. We

were able to turn the sounds into digital information that was translated into sonograms, or sound charts, to

see patterns which allow us to understand their language. This project was completed in Matlab.
