 I have good knowledge of C++ (and STL), and started to familiarize myself with Wesnoth codebase. I learned C++ pretty much on my own, first by coding small problems for some local programming/algorithm contests. I even got to the country finals once, though I'm not a huge fan of 5-hour "reimplement the appropriate algorithm in each of the problems" events. At least this made me pay attention to computational etc. complexity issues. Later I got some more useful knowledge from various books and experimenting. I also had C++ classes on my uni, but I ended up helping other people a lot more than writing my own code. It taught me some patience, especially since formatting code in a readable way was not part of the course.

It became the official map editor in later 1.5 developemnt versions of Wesnoth and in Wesnoth 1.6, completely replacing the old editor.

 ===About me===
 My name is Tomasz Śniatowski, ilor on irc/gna/forums/wiki, I'm a software engineering student in the Wroclaw University of Technology in Poland. My preferred e-mail adress is kailoran(at]gmail.com. I would like to participate in GSoC to do some useful work in an open source project, perhaps eventually get involved in the general development of it. Getting paid means that I will feel obliged to devote a significant amount of time to the project, which should benefit everyone.

+After I got commit access, I committed the two of the above patches and also a small fix to one that's been commited earlier by someone else. Then worked some more on :commands and /commands.
 I enjoy writing code that helps people save time. This includes myself, and often I will code a small tool to automate something even if overall I don't gain much - I just don't like manually doing repetetive things. I learned a fair bit of shell scripting and python that way.

 I hope to stay in the community after GSoC, the map editor being acepted and used would certainly encourage me to stay. Improving the editor further after GSoC woud then be natural, though I would also like to get involved with the game's programming in general if possible.
