So, you've come here because you want to help us program a great game? All the information that you might need to know can be found right here, or at least linked to from here. First, the most important things to get you started:

  • PARPG is written in Python 2.5. And yes, that 2.5 bit is important.
  • The game uses the FIFE library for our game engine.
  • The original FIFE engine is in C++, so we might need some C++ skills.
  • We have coding standards: Coding Standards. While some might dislike certain aspects of the coding standards - they aren't bad, but someone will always find something they don't like - they are logical, consistent, and well, every team needs them.
  • Writting better code is preferable to just saying something is bad.
  • We use SVN powered by CVSDude
  • You MUST comment your code!
  • Things that need doing: Programming Roadmap
  • How to start implementing things: Code design workflow
  • We're pretty sure in PARPG that you know what you're doing, however you can get yourself some help by looking at Development Environments to get you and your IDE / editor set up properly.
  • Some of the thinking behind these desicions can be found here: Technical framework
  • If you don't know much about SVN, you can get some details here: Source control
  • And some more information about patching: Patches
