We NEED more developers!

[hurricane86]

hi,

i am Martin from Italy. i am a university student in IT. I love programming (C/C++,Java,PHP...) and i would like enter into a video games software house.

After degree (15-dec) i am free and i can help you with your cool project.

I don't know Quake-C but i can learn it ....no problem with C and debugging (bug-finding), finally i have a some opengl basic.

Sorry for my poor english, it's one of my limitations (for now)

Thanks a lot, bye!

Your help would be appreciated a lot

If you don't like young coders, then don't waist your time reading the rest. I am 16 years old, and I am still in High School.

My name is Derrick Alvarado. I am 16 years old, I was born in Hewitt, Texas (USA). My life revolves around a computer, and coding...my laptop goes wherever I go. I love to do server hosting, and love to work with database's. I love the coding aspect of game design, but not much of an artistic type.

I mastered HTML PHP (with MySQL) and am currently learning JAVA. I hope to learn C, C++, or C# next. Anything that hast to do with server hosting that just makes me want to help others. I have a few websites, and I also do website hosting. I don't want to release the website, for advertising, so I will only release it if you want to know.

If you want me to learn a new code, you need to give me about 3-5days to learn it, and 2-3months to really figure it out and be able to help, and if you give me a year I can nearly master it. I know games are not only made with code, I know how much work that goes into making a game, but I just feel like helping.

I am currently taking a class in PreAP computer science (High School - Junior) and next year I will be going to a community collage for half a day for a course in game design & development.

I love to debug code, and I like to write it, but mainly I like to see what other people can do with coding for one can never stop learning.

Just because I just registered shouldn't make the difference in your opinion of a good coder. If you need me to, I can upload a few scripts I have made, although I don't really want to share with everyone.

We don't judge you by your past, but by your code. Make an improvement to Nexuiz. Any improvement that you like. And post a patch here.

If you provide good patches and your code looks clean enough, you'll be asked if you want to be part of the development team.

That's how it works in open source.

I'm Javier from Spain and i'm in the same position of Martin.
What can I do for help?

You must have made some negative experiences on forums ;o) welcome to Nexuiz - your help will be much appreciated. This applies of course also to Javier "javolsanc" and Martin "hurricane86"!

Heyas. New guy, hoping I can help out.

I'm 26 years old, been 4yrs at Uni learning Gamedev, aswell as spent 2yrs learning software testing.

I love to code, I live to code, I breathe code. Even though I work as a systems developer, I still code in my sparetime.

I started out as a young kid, desperatly wanting to make my own videogame. So, my parents got me Klick n Play. Much sleepless nights followed as I tinkered with it. Then alot of things happened, tried alot of languages, in my quest to learn more. I have experience in OpenGL (and glsl), not much math skills, but try to compensate with low-level knowledge and an evergrowing desire to know more, try more, solve problems.

I want to help out wherever I can where there's code, but my main interest has long been in the bowels of systems, having had runins with linux kernel modules (slightly, for work) and now tinkering with ip-networking and sockets on mobile platforms at work.

So, hoping I can help out, where do I start? I've read that I just start parsing the code, yes? Write smaller patches to get going and so forth. But more importantly, what would you need of me? For example, do I need to be available on irc? Stuff like that.

I apologize for the seemingly haphazardness of my post, tend to get a little excited around code

The TL;DR version: I love to code, and want to help! How can I be of service?

edit:
Forgot to mention, my end all language of choice is, C. It's the one I grew up with, and also the one I use the most.
Also, I have _no_ experience with QuakeC, or the engine, but more than willing to learn.

Welcome to Nexuiz! You can find ideas of what needs to be done here: http://alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3590&start=30

If I remember correctly, the documentation ressources for QuakeC were linked to somewhere in this thread, so that might be worth reading in beforehand ;o)

Being active on IRC would be good, but is not needed.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_i ... tid=563410

is also a good resource. Or this forum.

One long-term goal is support for Mumble (voice communication). I gave up on this, but you might have a chance. All we need is the engine somehow talking to a Mumble server via DCOP (IIRC) to manage the ACLs, so that the IPs of the team members are added to the respective channel on the Mumble server (and so that players are moved around on team change). Positional audio would be easier, but isn't much needed - the part that's really important is separating the channels of the teams.

If you could get that done, it would be really great.

You could even make it as an external library (.so / .dll), that exports a function that DP can use. The function would pass a list of IP addresses for team 1, a list for team 2, a list for team 3, and a list for team 4. In terms of C, I'd pass something like an array of

typedef struct
{
const char *channel;
struct sockaddr *addr;
}
mumble_acl_item;

and your library would take care of sending this ACL to the Mumble server, and making the clients switch to that channel automatically (IIRC the Mumble server can move clients from channel to channel if asked to).

If you go the external library approach, you don't need to be familiar with the engine code - if your library is done, I'd write that engine code myself (it'd be very simple then anyway).

I've been reading up on the workings of mumble (and d-bus) and consider it feasible. I don't think I can squeeze much time into my schedule right now (as in, the next few days) but I will try to be available on irc, have alot of questions

Speaking of which, where do I find you on irc?
