About Coding Contributions...
« on: April 12, 2005, 03:17:20 am »
Sorry - there really is no better place for this question, as it would be deleted from the \'developers\' board pretty fast I would imagine. Anyhow, since I\'m new around here - I thought I would ask it here.

Anywho - Contributing Code... I don\'t have time currently to even consider joining the team - with the end of my degree around the corner, I simply can\'t afford to \'take on requests\' - I would simply let the rest of the team down. However, this doesn\'t mean that I won\'t spend the odd afternoon playing with server code \'just for s**ts and giggles\'.

So, if I do something funky code wise - is there anyway I can send it to someone else to go over and include it (if they like it)? If these contributions are simply not accepted, then I won\'t waste my time with them - but if they are, then cool - I\'ll be spending time monkeying with code :D
\"Hold! Do you not want to know the name of the man you are about to destroy?\"
\"I do not need to know the name of a Sweeper.\"
\"It\'s always wise to know the name of a Sweeper, boy. And my question was not Addressed to you...\"

You can always send patches to me.  But you should probably ask me a bit before hand if what you are working on would be acceptable ( unless it\'s just a bug fix ).  Plus you have to be aware that any code you submit to use will be copyright to Atomic Blue.  

Normally a .diff file is good enough for most patches.

Of course - I just generally like to play, trying to add new things, or hunt down bugs that seem hard to fix (beats doing crosswords). Just nice to know if my playing spits out something nice [sic] that it would be something I could forward to you guys.

Plus you have to be aware that any code you submit to use will be copyright to Atomic Blue.

Of course - it\'s all G[NU]ood by me! Sorry, It\'s 4am. I\'ll shut-up now and stop forking through the PS code.
