<h4>Alexander Vishnevskiy - Implement persistent storage of gameworld data between semi-related scenarios</h4>
I want to implement the persistent gameworld idea. If I got accepted, I would discuss with the community and the developers about the best way to do this, searching for a solution that would be easy for the campaigns and maps developers to use.

*Wesnoth.org: IskanderM

<h4>Why do you want to participate in summer of code?</h4>
Because i want try my skills in serious project, and get the experinse in programming.

<h4>Have you developed software in a team environment before? (As opposed to hacking on something on your own)</h4>
Yes, i develop telephone billing

<h4>Have you participated to the Google Summer of Code before? As a mentor or a student? In what project? Were you successful? If not, why?</h4>
No, I haven't.

<h4>Are you already involved with any open source development projects? If yes, please describe the project and the scope of your involvement.</h4>
Just wesnoth.

If you have gained commit access to our SVN (during the evaluation period or earlier) please state so.</h4>
Patch #1510.

<h3>3) Communication skills</h3>

Yes, I always glade when people show my mistakes, and tell my a critik, it is take me a chance be better.

<h4>Are you good at sorting useful criticisms from useless ones?</h4>
Yes.

<h4>How autonomous are you when developing ? Would you rather discuss intensively changes and not start coding until you know what you want to do or would you rather code a proof of concept to "see how it turn out", taking the risk of having it thrown away if it doesn't match what the project want</h4>
It be good for me if i discuss the problem, then i and community take the solution, and then i coded this solution and show the community, i can change my code, or ewrite it if need.

<h3>Project</h3>

<h4>Did you select a project from our list? If that is the case, what project did you select? What do you want to especially concentrate on?</h4>
Yes, i selected the persistent gameworld project form the ideas list. I would at first write some easy tegs, for abstract maps which allow create single maps, then i want creat means for mutiplayer, after thet i want create in server global system where can participate all player, it is be like great fight between light and dark, or something like that, it considire of 2 part: global map, and lockal fights in wesnoth.

<h4>If you have invented your own project, please describe the project and the scope.</h4>

<h3>Practical considerations</h3>

<h4>Are you familiar with any of the following tools or languages?</h4>

* Subversion (used for all commits)
Yes
* C++ (language used for all the normal source code)
Yes, it's my first language and i now it very well.
* STL, Boost, Sdl (C++ libraries used by Wesnoth)
Boost.
* Python (optional, mainly used for tools)
No.
* build environments (eg cmake/autotools/scons)
I try compiling with Cmake, but now i usin Microsoft Visual Studio
* WML (the wesnoth specific scenario language)
I start learn him becase i need now it in my problem.
* Lua (used in combination with WML to create scenarios)
No.

<h4>Which tools do you normally use for development? Why do you use them?</h4>
*I using Microsoft Visual Studio, it convenient for me.

<h4>What programming languages are you fluent in?</h4>
C,C++,C#,Pascal,Delphi(not much).

<h4>Would you mind talking with your mentor on telephone / internet phone? We would like to have a backup way for communications for the case that somehow emails and IRC do fail. If you are willing to do so, please do list a phone number (including international code) so that we are able to contact you. You should probably *only* add this number in the application for you submit to google since the info in the wiki is available in public. We will *not* make any use of your number unless some case of "there is no way to contact you" does arise! </h4>
I can take my phone number or ICQ. You can ask me on e-mail if it be need, and i take it in my GSoC application
