[Kde-games-devel] GSoC Applicant Asking For Help

[Roney Gomes]

Hi.

Like in some other e-mails you probably received in the last months,
I'm another GSoC applicant asking for some help in this first contact,
and before introducing my doubts (and myself as well), I think that's
important to say that I've previously looked for information in other
sources, such as the Kde.org website and the Kde Devel mailing list,
they all pointed to here.

I'm a CS student from Brazil and have some knowledge in C++ and
programming in general, but my experience is restricted only to small
algorithms with no real applications. Academy stuff.

In the ideas page I saw the one related to changing the rendering
routines and the framework used by some games, that is, to port them
to KGameRenderer and QGraphicsView, and became very interested.

The first problem I see is that such framework is totally unknown to
me, so the the first things I'd like to know are:

1. Which are the games to be ported?

2. Where can I find the necessary codebase and documentation to study?

I'd really appreciate your help and comprehension (regarding my
horrible English). Thanks in advance.
