Volunteer for Freeciv-web
Posted: Sat Mar 17, 2018 12:27 am
Hi all,
Let me present myself first. I'm a long-time Freeciv player, and I've been hanging around on this forum since its revival. I never played online, and I enjoy defeating AIs -- although sometimes they manage to beat me. I'm a physicist in real life (in case you need some maths to be done). I've been learning coding for years just because I enjoy it. I know among others C, C++ and some Javascript. I'm also interested in computer graphics (eg Freeciv map rendering) and application design (presenting information in a compact-yet-understandable way). And I tend to write too long forum posts.
I made some contributions to the native Freeciv (graphics engine and Qt client), and I know how to find my way in the code. I also contributed to the Freeciv-web 3D version when Andreas started it, but soon stopped because Firefox was leaking too much memory, making my computer unusable. The biggest issue I have with contributing to Freeciv & friends is that I don't know what would be an interesting contribution -- my vision of the areas needing improvement just isn't good enough.
So -- I would be glad to help with the new Freeciv-web. I'm not the right guy if you need someone driving development towards his vision, but I can help making ideas real.
