We like repetition so: Simple Games Easy. Complex Games Possible.
Common Pages
How to contribute
Via Git(GitHub)
Our repositories are located on http://github.com/kthakore/ . We use git ( http://git-scm.com/ ) as our source version control.
Fork and Send a Pull Request
http://github.com/guides/pull-requests
Fork the repository you want to work on from http://github.com/kthakore/. Hack on it at your own pace. When you are ready for a review send a pull-request.
Commit Bit access and Branch
Once your code is reviewed it will be placed in a Branch on the main repo. You will be give commit access. We recommend staying on your branch for your feature, but feel free to meander all over. Once you are ready to release your fix let us know on irc or sdl-devel@… . It will be merged to master and scheduled for the next release. Also please regularly update your branch as you are working on it with 'git merge master'.
Release Please add your name in CONTRIBUTORS, and your changes in CHANGELOG.
For git beginners on windows here is a nice GUI screen-cast. For git users on other platform you can view this screen-cast too, just skip ahead to the git-gui part.
For svn users this is a good place to learn git fast: Git-SVN
Testing
Learn here how to send test reports of the blazing code to our Smolder testing.
Via Patches
An alternative is to send patches to sdl-devel 'at' perl.org.
Making and Closing tickets
Ask me to give you access to register and then go at it. If you want to take ownership of any component let me know. If you are making tickets please put easy, intermediate, or tough in your difficulty field. This way they can be organized as below. Finally put in what knowledge you think is
good to know (C, XS, Perl, Pod, ...) in the Keywords field.
Where to Begin
Easy Tickets
Here are tickets we think are easy to begin with.
Intermediate Tickets
These tickets may challenge some new to the project but are a good place to start for people who like to get into the thick of things.
Tougher Tickets
These tickets will take time and lots of thinking and even more collaboration. We are hoping to split these tickets into smaller easier tickets.
