In 2005 Chris picked up a copy of World of Warcraft as a way to blow off some steam and keep in touch with long distance friends. He was instantly mesmerized by the rich API Blizzard provided, and went on to write some small addons that would later snowball into tens of thousands of lines of code. He played the game on and off for years in his spare time, all the while working with James Luedke to create some interesting autonomous agent code, and some heuristic spell casting functions for various classes. When a great deal of this code was disabled by the 2.0 patch back in November of 2007, Chris and James started working on a library that would restore the games original functionality. That library is the feature of his 2009 DEF CON talk.
