[Stellarlegacy-developer] For anyone interested into 4X gamedev

[Jure R. <jl...@ho...>]

Hi all

I hope you don't mind posting this here. I post this here because it was the 
first project that I found a couple of years ago when I was looking for a 4X 
game like Stars! for Linux. So maybe there is someone subscribed here who 
would find this usefull. Here we go:

Google has just published the list of accepted mentoring organizations for 
Google Summer of Code 2008. We are extremely happy to report that Thousand 
Parsec is one of the projects which will have the opportunity to mentor 
aspiring open source developers.

A few words about us for people who might be interested into Thousand Parsec. 
Our project is all about turn-based 4X space strategy games, where the player 
gets to build his very own space empire. We mostly use Python and C++. There 
is also some code written in Java and PHP. Of course people who know other 
languages are most welcome too.

If you are interested into having fun developing an open source game and don't 
mind US$ 4500 of encouragement to go with it, be sure to check these two 
webpages:
* http://www.thousandparsec.net/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code
* http://www.thousandparsec.net/wiki/Ideas_for_Programmers

We're sure we will all be as successful as we were last year. Let the fun 
begin!
