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) http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=81134.0
- 7z archive support (in progress by m!m)
- SVG support (especially for HUD gauges)
- APNG support (see KickStarter)
- wxFRED
- (maybe) libVLC for all our video playing needs? lGPLv2
Scripts
- ETS Presets (old, could use a cleanup)
- Cowardly Ships (switch to AI-Evade vs their attacker for a short period of time)
Short Term
(gah! too much stuff on here already :()
Review patches in these threads:
- http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=84567.0 (Yarn - hud extras)
Fix this issue - not really a bug, maybe a feature?
JSON ship/weapon table dump
Command line pruning (something should be done about this! New Options Menu HO!)
Add option to make HUD message text clearer (and maybe also add alpha/transparency options for hud gauges?)
Write doco for installing OpenAL Soft on Windows
memory overflow
