Hello, greetings from Silesian University of Technology

[Bajter]

Hello, Mikolaj here.

I've sent an e-mail with two of my collegues to Wildfire through the form on the main site about two weeks ago.

We've got an answer pretty quickly, but didn't have much time to really do anything except read trac and trying to dig into the forums (which has proven to be a hard task).

Anyway, straight to the point - the mail was about joining you to work together on 0AD as a part of our university project - I have no idea how many tasks are we going to realise, but the minimal amount is one per person, definitely.

In the answer Aviv Sharon welcomed us to the project leading us straight to the forums. Advising that we should write here before sending any code anywhere, my guess is - so the tasks could be marked as assigned.

As I mentioned there's three of us, and all of us are computer science engineers working on our masters degree. We were assigned to find ourselves an open-source project and help to develop it, try to join the community etc. So here we are. We are all from Silesian University of Technology in Poland. So - hello to all fellow students!

To be honest - we'd like to complete our assignements, and if we like working around this project we'd probably love to help along after getting our marks on the university, I can't promise anything though.

Me and Grzegorz - we'd like to work on some code, as we're not really familiar with 0AD we thought about this two tasks found in the StarterTasks section of Trac:

http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/686

http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/2268

Ania would like to work on 2D or 3D graphics side of the project, she didn't decide on anything yet, and if there's nothing to do for her (no matter the reason) - she's still a fine programmer! So we can always find a fitting task.

I'd guess Ania and Grzegorz will post something under this too.

Hi

Grzegorz here (i prefer Grzes rater than Grzegorz to be honest).

In addition to what Mikolaj said i can mention, that i used to play Age of Empires series and my favourite was AoE II, The Age of Kings. That's one of the reasons why i have chosen this project to contribute.

Hello everyone

It's Ania here. As Mikolaj said, I'd love to work on graphics but I could be a programmer as well. Some of my artwork is here: http://annie--q.deviantart.com/ and here: http://rysunkovy.blogspot.com/

Cheers!

For #686, there's someone working on showing the number of researched technologies in the summary screen, but I don't think anyone is doing the other scores. Both tickets would be welcome and would give a good start to work on the project.

For art tasks, it's best to start an introductory topic (like here: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17853 ) where you start on one of the open art tasks (http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17730 )

For code, if you want to discuss something, there are a lot of devs active on the #0ad-dev IRC channel on QuakeNet. The most activity is during the European evening/night though. Don't hesitate to ask questions regarding code structure, or ask if someone can review the way you're going.

Good luck.

Great to see you three here on the forums! Good luck!
