Not ActiveQuick Description:
An EKG Simulation teaching application for Vanderbilt Emergency Medicine in Nashville, TN.
Long Description:
Working directly with Vanderbilt employees, this desktop applictation allows Vanderbilt Doctors to upload a .pdf ekg that was downloaded directly from the ekg machines they have in their hospital. Once uploaded via the admin section, the application uses some server-side code to break apart the ekg into 4 sections for easy viewing.
There are two viewing modes, single screen & presentation mode. Each mode offers the ability to zoom in and out, make annotations on the actual ekg and print out the ekg with the annotations. It also lets you play back the ryhtm strip, allowing real-time speed changes.
Vanderbilt is mainly planning on using this as a teaching tool.
Technologies Used:

FranktownRocks
View Active SiteQuick Description:
This online childrens virtual world centers around music and music education. Users can play instruments, watch lessons, buy clothes for their character and decorate their house.
Long Description:
This music-based Massively-Multiplayer Online Virtual World boasts several features, including a complex house editing system, quests, and vehicles.
Some rooms in the world are created from externally loaded XML files that get parsed and display the correct images on the screen. This system was created by me, and allows the users to walk behind items, giving them the impression of depth in what is otherwise a 2D environment.
The house editing system allows kids to drag and drop their purchased furniture items directly into their house. It automatically updates their inventory totals and allows them to rotate and move the item anywhere they wish.
The vehicles system is closely integrated with the character clothing system. Each vehicle allows the user to get around the virtual world in unique and fun ways, including rocket shoes, cars, skateboards, and transporter belts.
Being a music-based virtual world, the music player gives users the ability to play pre-selected music, or edit their music player with custom tracks they select from the Records shop. Users can rate each song, and see how other kids are rating the songs as well.
Everything in FranktownRocks was built from the ground up. The only non-proprietary code is the socket server used to connect users to each other.
