Guest ax Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I would really like to help with this project, the only problem is I don't know how to program and I have no idea where to start. Does anyone have any tips on where would be a good place to start to get the skills to help with this project. Should I start with learning to program in C and any tips on how to learn this best? I have plenty of free time the next half year and this seems like a fun thing to do. Link to comment

I have plenty of free time the next half year and this seems like a fun thing to do. A few people have started by working on fixing bugs in the GUI scripts (which also include code for things like levelling up), which are written in Python, a much friendlier language to learn than C++. There are lots of friendly tutorials and things for Python, I'm sure I could dig some suggestions up if you're interested. The GUI scripting is also a rather friendlier way to begin working out how everything works, the engine core is scary to begin with! The developers mostly hang out on IRC (#gemrb on irc.freenode.net) if you have any questions, although obviously we read the forums too. Link to comment
Guest ax Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks for the reply. I will give python a shot, you're right it looks a lot friendlier then C++. At least I can somewhat understand it. I will start with the tutorials on the official page and see if I can fiddle with the guiscripts after that. Link to comment
