Application: oldmanmike

Post by oldmanmike »

Greetings!

I'm a software engineer/student with some experience in C/C++ (among other things) and would like to assist this great project in some way. I hear (and have experienced through playing) that a majority of the work on the game itself is done already, so I would be happy to work on OpenCS as well. I'm not very experienced in computer graphics, most of my work in C/C++ has been geared towards system programming and parallelism. I have walked through the dev environment setup and aside from the outdated mygui package from the Arch repos, I'm pretty much ready.

Thanks!

Welcome.

Wanna start with a boring and easy task as a warmup? Editor: References verifier

I'll give it a shot, though I'll have to familiarize myself with the relavent code, architecture, and terminology first.
So something along the lines of referenceablecheck, only this time checking the reference table?

Yes.

I wrote the referenceables verifer so it is probabbly not the brightest example of any excelent C++ code. In fact psi29 noticed that it produces warnings.

I recomend to take a look at other verifers as a reference. Code there is not only better but also shorter and simpler.

Good luck. :)
