It might change soon, though. From the output below, everything looks good. You just happened to try out the code at a bad time, as my last commit changed a couple of things and left others in a bit of a broken state. > by running test/worldtest -g ../adonthell/test/data (add data in order to > load "test-world.xml"): With the latest change, the proper command would be test/worldtest -g ../adonthell/test data That means, run the game present in 'data', using a custom data directory adonthell/test (since nothing is yet installed to the actual data directory (/usr/local/share/games/adonthell/). There are some more details about that latest change and what it broke here: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/adonthell-devel/2009-10/msg00007.html > well, despite that, I'd like to know if I can somehow contribute to this > project. Of course :-). Any help is greatly appreciated! > I already looked at the open tasks. is there any of them more > suitable to start with... Hm ... all of them have a certain complexity, I fear. Something simple (which isn't really listed) could be to add loading/saving of the audio subsystem state. I.e. which audio files where "open", which event handlers registered. The email above also has some details about the loading/saving stuff is supposed to work and more info is here http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/adonthell-devel/2009-10/msg00006.html and here http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Architecture:Base_Module#Data_Persistence But in general, pick whatever interests you most. Even if things are difficult, we can surely work out a design together and help if an area of the code is unclear. Kai P.S. I'm currently on a business trip, so I might not be around the IRC channel often over the next days. But I'll read and answer emails just fine. _______________________________________________ Adonthell-devel mailing list Adonthell-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/adonthell-devel
