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.

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 :))
• git :D

The areas of the code I'm most familiar with are:

• New pilot code (antipodes 8 / 3.7.0+)
• HUD gauges
• ETS

Features I'd most like to add to FSO are:

(TODO: make this a table with what/why/how columns)

• Case insensitivity everywhere (for Linux)
• 7z archive support
• SVG support (especially for HUD gauges)
• APNG support (see KickStarter)
• wxFRED
