[Scummvm-devel] [GSoC Student] Intro

[Aryan Rawlani]

Hello, developers of ScummVM! It's nice to be here, and I'm really excited
to be one of the students selected for ScummVM! Thank you, everyone, for
seeing me as a good potential candidate for GSoC! I'm hoping I can make a
good contribution, complete my tasks on time, and meet all of your
expectations.

Onwards, my name is Aryan - I'm a student from Ahmedabad, India. My set of
tasks are very well defined, and since I've already set up my environment,
and contributed a fix for a little bug here and there, and met some of you,
I thought the best way to communicate more would be to just start coding
and working on my tasks!

That being said, I'd like to just point out for a quick moment that it's my
first time wandering into a big codebase like this and collaborating with
experienced developers. I hope you would understand if I ask some trivial
questions and details. I will be available full-time for this period, and
I'll be most active on Discord. My nick there is "aryanrawlani28". Looking
forward to having a chat!

My tasks for the summer are:
1) Switch GUI from char sized strings to Common::U32 Strings.
2) RTL Support for GUI
3) Move detection code from plugins into the main executable. (Changing the
dynamic plugins system)

I'll be working on tasks 1 & 2 first and after completion move on to the
3rd,

Lastly, I've set up my blog, and wrote my introductory post! I'll include
the link to it and my GitHub repo below.

Any feedback, regarding code, blog, or anything is very welcome!

I look forward to working with all of you :)
