Who am I?
246... no.
I do some coding for the Source code project. I also help out with forum support, and write the coding section of the HLP newsletter. Most recently I've joined the Fate of the Galaxy team as a coder/generalist, trying to finish off everything for the first release.
I'm most interested in:
- Supporting Linux
- Improving the robustness of the codebase (e.g. see Coverity / Address Sanitiser / PVS studio)
- Fixing bugs
- Code reviews to get other peoples features added to FSO, i.e. maintain their momentum (although I feel that this really turns my brain to mush if I do it for too long :))
- Adding (small) features to the engine to modders find useful
- git :D
The areas of the code I'm most familiar with are:
- New pilot code (antipodes 8 / 3.7.0+)
- HUD gauges
- ETS
Stuff TODO:
(TODO: make this a table with what/why/how columns)
- add this for nicer C++ string formatting https://cppformat.github.io/latest/index.html
- Case insensitivity everywhere (for Linux) http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=81134.0
- wxFRED (*sigh*)
- Fix this issue - not really a bug, maybe a feature?: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=86938.msg1737431#msg1737431
- Command line pruning (something should be done about this! New Options Menu HO!) http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=86256.0
- Add option to make HUD message text clearer (and maybe also add alpha/transparency options for hud gauges?) http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=88044.msg1757287#msg1757287
- Write up my little guide on creating shield icons (yes, probably super simple & obvious for anyone artists :))
off the list
- APNG support (see KickStarter) (woohoo!)
- add LUA streamingAnimations
- (maybe) libVLC for all our video playing needs? lGPLv2 (done by m!m)
- 7z archive support (done by m!m)
- SVG support (especially for HUD gauges) (in progress by m!m)
- Review patch: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=84567.0 (Yarn - hud extras) (done)
- JSON ship/weapon table dump http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=87497.msg1748691#msg1748691 (in progress by chief1983)
- Write doco for installing OpenAL Soft on Windows (can't run FSO on my windows laptop anymore... so on hold)
Scripts
- ETS Presets (old, could use a cleanup)
- Cowardly Ships (switch to AI-Evade vs their attacker for a short period of time)
GCC Address Sanitiser
(Because I'm always forgetting how to do this!)
- export CXXFLAGS=-fsanitize=address
- export LDFLAGS=-fsanitize=address
- sh autogen.sh --enable-debug
- ./fs2_open_3.7.3_DEBUG 2>&1 | asan_symbolize.py | c++filt
REMEMBER
- c++filt should be in the binutils package, (probably) also need to install libasan0 (unless something else installs it by default?)
- asan_symbolize.py
- REDIRECT STDERR TO STDOUT or you get nothing. NOTHING!
memory overflow
- git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s" --date=short --after=2014-01-31
