Hi there,
I would like to help the developers of this game to develop it, because in my opinion it is an great opportunity to convince windows users to change their OS to Linux ;) Apart from that I love Linux since using it (since 2005) and I would do everything in order to create s.th. like World of Warcraft for Linux (wine is not for me since I cannot get it to work with steam on my 64 bit system).
The problem now is that I have basic skills in object oriented programming in C++ and Java and coded some simple objects in OpenGL. but currently I am not able to help because I have no idea about developing under Linux - and so my questions:
1. Where can I find the documentation of this game?
2. Do you know any tutorials on how to code, design, create models in 3D under Linux?
3. What applications are used today to develop games like Planeshift? Commercial or OpenSource?
Thanks to all developers and those who help them develop, I promise to do my best in order to help u 2.
Sayonara,
maciej

Hi!
1)The documentation of this game is the game itself, mainly.
There is however this page you can explore http://planeshift.sourceforge.net/ with doxygen docs
For the rest, just give a look at the code and that is the best you can get at the moment.
2) I would rather address you here:
http://community.crystalspace3d.org/tiki-index.php
Here you can find some tutorial about CS in general - CS = Crystal Space.
If you have to search for more general material about starting up with 3D stuff, you should just enter the magic words in google.
3) You can develop for PS just having Open Source stuff. This doesn\'t mean that everybody do like that.
