I am a Junior computer science major at Andrews University. My main reason for becoming interested in Google Summer of Code is that I would really like some experience doing some actual coding outside of my classes or the odd project I do from time to time and I am eager to supplement all of the learning I have already gained from my classes.

 **Many of the options in the editor that could be modularized are currently hardcoded - I want to change that.  For example:
 ***Brush selection and terrain palette coordinates are hardcoded - these can be made theme-able.

+***The tool-tips are all hardcoded in - these could be modularized as well.
 *Generally improve/refactor existing code in the map editor.
 **Obviously, this would involve becoming familiar with Wesnoth coding standards and the Wesnoth code itself (which I have already begun working on).
-*Add new features.
+**There have been complaints about the copy function not working as expected sometimes.

-To summarize, I would start with improving what is already there for two reasons - to bring the existing code up to par with the rest of the project and to become more familiar with what is already there.  As the summer progressed, I would discuss new features that could be added with my mentor and the community and work towards implementing them.  One of the first features which I would like to add is the ability to more directly control the aesthetics of a map from the editor.

 The basic overview for my plans at revamping the map editor is this:  I want to take what is already there (because it is by no means useless) and improve it one bit at a time in an evolutionary manner.  At every point, I want to have a working piece of software.
