[TuxKart-devel] Google Summer of Code

[Balázs N. <bal...@gm...>]

Dear Sir/Madame,

I read about your opensource project on the Google Summer of Code website.
I was always interested in such a game development project like yours. I am
currently studying on the German course of BUTE as a software engineer and
I've been learning C/C++ programming for 2 years. Beside the university I
take part in several projects but I've never been in an open source game
development project before. So I would like to ask a few question:

1.) If I've never been programming game graphics before but I can code in
C++ and I am very eager and ready for challenge (I love PC games) then can
I join your project? I'm very interested in it because I want to learn it
and maybe later work as a game developer.
//Besides C/C++ I can code in Java and C#, and I can work with html/css,
javascript, php and a little Python. At the moment I'm working on a little
website with my friends, too.

2.) So if your answer is 'Yes' then what do you expect from me? I mean I'm
interested in the GUI engine and I would like to ask a simple briefing or a
simple task before the great application something where I can begin all of
this. I learn fast (if I'm interested :)) so a little help would be
appreciated.

3.) Have you been thinking about mobile platforms for example Android, iOS
or WP? Maybe with an advertisement free version on Google Play you could
earn money to develop the game better with reinvest money.

I've got also a few ideas for the game e.g. new Arena mod with just
fighting (like in FlatOut or Crashday) or another stunt mod (like in
Trackmania) where player should make e.g. flips to make points.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Greetings, Balázs Nagy
