Position: AI Programmer. Do you understand that Wildfire Games is a non-commercial project, work for 0 A.D. is volunteer, and work is done for free? Yes Do you agree to distribute all your work for Wildfire Games under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license? Yes Are you sure you are not wanting to work on something programming related? (Then you don't need to send in an application form.) It is programming related Name: Mina Sami Gorgi Email: minas (dot) gorgy (at) gmail (dot) com Location: Cairo (GMT+2) Availability: Currently: at least 10 hours. 6 months from now: not really sure. I am graduating this year so I can't really give an accurate estimate but I'll probably still be contributing. Age: 22 Occupation: Senior Computer Engineering Student Skills and Experience: Resume Motivation: I greatly love what I am doing and what new experiences it allows me. Personality: A creative thinker and avid learner. Short Essay: I really found about WF from 0AD about 3 years ago but had already heard about WF in general years before. The most amazing thing about this project is the fact it's open-source. I mean I didn't really believe back then that there could be such a large-scale well-developed game like this and still be open-source. Being cross-platform as well is a huge bonus. But generally, I always wanted to develop AI for games since I played my first RTS game as a kid. So, I seek fulfilling my dream and gaining experience by joining 0AD. Interests and Hobbies: I am greatly interested in music. I have studied music theory, I play the guitar a bit, currently learning to play the saxophone and occasionally teach children how to sing. I like to keep fit so I go to the gym regularly and I am interested in sports in general but specially tennis table and football. I also like playing video games -don't we all-. Staff: I don't know anyone personally but I have came across a few while suggesting participating in GSoC this year. Community: I guess for gaming just YouTube. Yes, I am not a real hardcore gamer. Favorite Game: Currently: League of Legends thanks to Lutris. Honorable mention: Dota since it runs on Linux via Steam. Overall: I think Age of Empires and Command and Conquer. 0AD is a huge candidate once campaigns are up. Work Examples: I don't have such that are directly related to the position, the closest may be the Scrabble AI I took part in developing last semester where I was actually in charge of the research team. Other relevant work examples are mentioned and linked in the resume.

Thanks @stanislas69. Sorry, the question " Are you sure you are not wanting to work on something programming related " was a bit confusing for me since English is not my first language. My bad tho. I've already started on the given link by successfully building 0AD. I was waiting for an "approval of proposal" to get to the next steps but seems I don't need that. I guess I will be exploring the tickets and getting in touch with the devs on IRC then.

No worries, we will make a poll to build a pool in the backyard with a big pole so everyone can see they are invited, have fun and enjoy our choices.

Yep, i ll make it smaller i think all icons and graphic in the alpha version will be replaced, now i m really focus in code and functionalities. Would be very nice have also some collaborator for the code and also for the art part, very soon would be necessary add a lot of entities for each civ, with specific animation and 3d models. Everyone interested can contact me here or in private.

I feel like the coin icon needs to be 10% smaller to match the others.

My mother was a French speaker but we where living in an English speaking province(Ontario) so we were confined to the backyard of our house Mum didn't know/trust the neighbours who where all people she could not speak to as she did not talk de English so my younger bother and I observed all the kids in the neighbourhood playing and we just wanted friends so we broke out and had lots of fun and started teaching Mum English about three months later she got to know the neighbours Enjoy the Choice

as promised i developed the City Economy Panel, once clicked on a city from the Economy Panel we will get all the information of its economy: 1) this is the city with 3 consumers: 2) here i click the economy Panel on the top right menu ( ex Trading Panel ) and all city in the game will appear ( in this test is just one ) 3) now i click on the city button and i have the main dashboard of the City Economy: in here appear 3 main component: - Population - the tot number of consumer in the city - the average happiness of the city consumers - Details - the producers button, where is possible to explore all different producers and their products (i will develop it soon) - the products button, where is instead focus only to list all the available products and prices (i will develop it soon) - Economy Chart Here is possible to have a quickly look to the city economy performance looking at GDP and consumes during time Next i will develop the producers and products panel , after that we should have all the tools to track all cities economies.

@Itms @elexis Hello and thanks for the application ! As you read in the application, programmers need not apply. Positions are granted after a certain number of contributions. That depends on the value and the number of those. So I'd suggest you read the documentation on how to get started on trac.wildfiregames.com if you haven't already. Let me know if you need anything else

Nice work man ! We should commit these trees to the repository

This is super cool, but I'm wondering if it shouldn't drop down under the raw material icon like a list.

@feneur

Hi everyone! as planned before, following the products table, i start adding new resources in the game, in the specific i added 8 subTypes in the Food Resource: 4 Basic resources: food wood stone metal with the food divided in 8 subcategories : fish milk herbs oil meat grain fruit wool ( is not food but we insert here for simplicity) Now are all accessible from the resource bar in the top , just clicking the food icon, this the small clip to show you:

The random maps are ugly (a couple are nice). The skirmish maps are not ugly.

What are the current goals though? The funding campaign from 2013 at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/support-0-a-d-an-open-source-strategy-game#/ specified 40k for a new pathfinder, somewhere like 80k or whatnot for the singleplayer campaign if I recall correctly. 25k may get you to any single goal, but after that the funding is gone. The numbers are public https://spi-inc.org/corporate/annual-reports/, since Wildfire Games is a member of the non-profit organization Software in the Public Interest as mentioned. Notice that Wildfire Games has running costs, of maybe USD 1000 for the servers and few hundred USD for travel costs. Also notice of the 33k from the campaign, 5k went towards merchandise. In 2018 WFG received about USD 3000 in donations and about USD 1000 server costs. What to do with that money noone figured out yet, and so it is kept in reserves (at least that's what's been happening so far). If nothing changes, it's at least good to know that one can afford server costs for the decades to come. How can you guarantee that? 25k USD / (10 USD/h) = 2500 hours. With 25 hours per week that's 100 weeks, i.e. 2 years for one contributor, excluding server cost. So indeed it would need more funding. I expect Wildfire Games will not be able to raise sufficient money to hire even one contributor fulltime in the foreseeable future, but that doesn't mean one can't try to improve the situation. I can pull something out of the hat later, but I haven't finished the IRS documents, and they are just as dull as GDPR.
