Thanks for the introduction, Aurélien, and welcome! Those are both very interesting and useful projects. > Concerning the second project, I've already done a physics-based game in > space and I'd love to take this a step further. So the important aspect for that project is to build upon the existing simulation code started last year (src/libged/simulate), implemented by SOCIS student Abhijit Nandy. He implemented a great "simulate" command that utilizes the Bullet Physics Engine and it's the framework to build upon going forward. > I've read the applications guideline.

Lots of suggestions detailed here: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code/Application_Guidelines Other than that, for students that have the time, I highly recommend everyone interested in working on BRL-CAD write up two proposals just so you don't have to worry about others proposing the same idea. Quality is still better than quantity and a good patch is better than no patch, but it sometimes helps to include a secondary interest. If we get to know you and like you but someone else has a much better proposal, it's nice to have the backup. The ordering I'd suggest is 0) introductions/questions, 1) strong complete primary proposal write-up, 2) strong source code patch ideally related to what you're proposing (optional but it's a huge vouch of your abilities), then 3) secondary proposal write-up. > P.S If this e-mail was inappropriate, sorry for any inconvenience.
