Kate Fox

Kate Stone, infrequently known as SnowKate709 (who comes under a surprising number of unusual aliases on IRC and elsewhere, changing between them nearly constantly for reasons known only to herself), is a mapper and modder that has come into the community primarily through the discovery of the ZDoom source port in the end of 2002. Ever since, she's been a frequent forum user there, and has programmed a few contributions to the port, the most prominent of these is A_LookEx, a modification to the sight check code that allows customized behavior for monsters like maximum and minimum sight distances, a maximum hearing distance, a custom alert state, and the ability to make monsters blind or completely deaf (not to be confused with the AMBUSH level flag behavior, which is different).

Her flagship project is Dimension LXXII.

She has also helped out with multiplayer testing (and scripting for E1M9) of Knee-Deep in ZDoom, long before its ultimately delayed release.

She excels at programming in interpreted, very high-level languages like Ruby and Python, and is working on a source fork of ZDoom called PyDoom, which utilizes the latter as a script language.
