(if not sure, leave blank):

Well, first, lemme introduce myself.

I am studying as a software engineer and i am currently doing by myself a 3d(2.5d) subspace prototype. I found it is a good way

to use what im learning. I dont know yet how i would help this project, i can touch pretty much every part of a software. But i am willing to help out because subspace is a game i over-like .

 

P.S.: you can have a look at: www.crevival.wordpress.com

 

Your programming strengths (special areas of expertise):

Well, im familiar with object-oritented programmation. I know useful patterns of conception.

My strenghts are mostly code oriented and i enjoy working on algorithms.

 

 

Familiariy with SVN:

Well im using it a lot. mostly with tortoise or eclipse plugin.

Is this... still... happening? If so I think I'd like to get involved, if possible?

Languages you know

C/C++ Java I know best, but I am familiar with PHP, Python, Prolog, ML, Scheme, blah blah blah

What you are interested in doing to help?

I don't really know, I guess networking or whatever needs the most work?

 

if not sure, leave blank

oops.

Your programming strengths; special areas of expertise

Mmmmm not sure I have any special area of expertise? Maybe networking? I made a web server with some people which was cool and it runs fast woo

Familiariy with SVN

I can use it OK, and if there's something I don't know how to do I can look it up okay

[Cheese]

this is long since dead, but if you really do know C and have some interest:

 

server: https://bitbucket.org/grelminar/asss

client: https://bitbucket.org/roxxkatt/subspace-continuum/wiki/Home

[Black Daemon]

I do know C! I do have interest! Coolzorz. 

 

Will I really be killed though if I mess up on the Holy C Commandments?

[Death Artist]

You do realize this post is three years old? There isn't much support for SS2, whatever it could be.

Only solution is to create new game from scratch in secret, and then publish it. You cant design by committee.

 

Edit: removed some rambling

Amen.

[Lone Outlaw]

Why are people still trying to find solutions, like steam green-light, making their own clients or trying to revive coding for other things that are 5 years old and forgotten?

 

There is a solution that already exists called Phoenix =/

 

Why not support that? Why not make graphics or code for that?

 

Richard being one man, coded none stop and made a good game. Not that anyone dislikes it, but I'd like to re-enforce the idea that there is no reason to hate it at all. It's like a Playstation 3, which is backwards compatible. You can still play your Playstation 2, SNES games on it etc. Basically meaning that you can set up a zone on it exactly the way it is in subspace. Except this time with tons more options and features. Chat features that were none existent, would exist now. Mapping features would exist that were impossible before or took way more time. And he is including buy menus, so zones who want to sell upgrade items for ships, can display the item, and sell items in their zone, maybe even for real cash.

 

But by all means code code code, the more development no matter where it's directed, the better.

Where is the code?

[Lone Outlaw]

Just sign up to the beta team, and ask to help?

[Cheese]

he was making fun of you, because you are dumb

[JoWie]

The reason for me to not participate with phoenix is because it is or was closed source. I am not saying closed source is bad, just that I do not wish to participate/help in a non trivial way with such a project. (unless you pay me haha)

[Black Daemon]

You people are funny. I'm going to do something else, probably, but not because I don't love you all.

[Lone Outlaw]

What exactly is closed source. Open source, across the internet. Closed source, code available to one person.

 

My point was if you wanted to code and Richard Needed the help he would make the code available to you. So is it still closed source if 20 people have access to all of the code? Probably yes, but it's closed to 20 people who can be trusted. Rather than just one guy.

 

Even without access to any of his code, he could claim while I'm doing the networking/security end, I need to make some progress on the map editor, and turn that whole end of the project over to you in hopes of getting things done faster. Sure you don't have access to code, but you can make your stuff and it will be included...

 

Open source doesn't necessarily mean more innovation, I can give a game more innovation than a whole team of coders, just by giving them ideas. Just because you can C++ and know some math doesn't make you good at designing games, or implementing them, or marketing them, or anything really. Most coders I find are seriously lacking in other areas of life and education which will hamper their ability to make a good game.

Edited October 28, 2013 by Lone Outlaw

[JoWie]

The reason why I would prefer open source, in this context, is not a difference in quality/innovation.

 

It is about freedom.

 

Suppose for the sake of argument I am making a subspace clone.

If you want to create your own game based on my work (rebrand it, sell it, whatever) you may.

If I ever leave, anyone may pick up the work.

If someone does not like my tyrannous dictatorship they can create their own community without needing my approval.

If you have a zone and desperately want a feature, you can make it yourself without having to wait for the JoWie council to develop it.

 

I would only ask in return:

You keep my work open. But what you do with additions to my work, for example by using modules or different assets is up to you. (e.g. AGPL with class path exception).

You give a little credit where it is due.

 

 

Having said that, I am not against closed source software. I develop plenty of software that is proprietary.

The difference is one of goals and core values. It is a different kind of project. Both approaches have downsides and upsides.

I use a similar thought process for why I'm against the GPL. The GPL prevents freedom. I don't spend any of my time working on projects that use restrictive licenses like the GPL. Everything I release these days is either public domain or, more usually, BSD license.

[Lone Outlaw]

Well closed source basically what? Wants to sell the product? Restricts the code, and says if you want to buy my product your not actually buying it, but only buying the permission to use it.

 

I think closed source developers would still give credit where credit is due though.

 

Anyway I totally respect your views on this and agree with you. Can't disagree with someone who is right =)

Is this one of the reasons why you stopped working on asss/hyperspace?

 

Anyway I agree that it limits freedom in other ways, and that is exactly my intention. Do note that I rarely use the viral variant of the GPL. I either use LGPL or add a class path exception.

The "entire work, as a whole" part of the GPL is something I do not agree with and it is also not made explicit in the GPL. Is linking to a shared library a combined work?, what if I put a socket or pipe in between my work and the GPL work?

Anyways I have no issues with using closed source games/applications. It is only on issue when I am volunteering my time.
