[Scummvm-devel] google summer of code

[Max Horn]

Hi Jonas!

please take a look at <http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code> and the pages it links to for some basic information, including a list of suggested projects. But as we state there, original proposals are highly welcome, too. E.g.if you want to improve iPhone port, that would be possible, but you'd have to turn into a concrete written out proposal, that contains a description of what exactly the plan is. You should also contact the iPhone port author to coordinate with him.

Java of course has some similarities to C++, but there also many many differences, so you'd still have to learn quite a bit, but it is certainly doable. The iPhone port also makes use of Objective C, yet another language from the C family.


Cheers,
Max

I am an avid gamer, and point-and-click games are one of my favorite genres. I could go on and on about how much i love Monkey Island or something, but why talk abou the obvious? As i mentioned before, i will have had a1 year of java already, and i have access to a pc, a pocket pc, and an ipod touch, incase you need something in these areas in particular. If at all possible, i would like to contribute to the iphone port, since it seems to be lacking some fundamentals from other ports (i.e. the skip buttons from the pocket pc port). anyway, if i can be of any use what so ever, please let me know. Thanks!
