UMCD
User-made content daemon (UMCD) project. Improving and complete an add-on server. More informations on this page SoC_Ideas_UMCD_2014.
There are no submitted student proposals for this idea
Additional Information
The current add-on server is old and monolithic so it'd problematic to extend it. That's why we started the last summer a new add-on server during a GSOC (see the proposal of the last year here [1]). If you are interested and before starting anything, please come see us.
Goal
- Main goal of this summer project is to finish the basics of the server, it means that every actions on add-on should be implemented (create, update, delete, retrieve, update password, ...). It also mean that you should update the client accordingly.
- Second goal: Dependencies resolution of the add-ons.
- Additional goal: Synchronization of the translations with Wescamp.
- Additional goal: Support for gettext on the client side (translation of the server responses).
There is also a side project of a networking library based on Boost.Asio that we'll use inside the UMCD. It could be great to design the add-on server such that basic add-on part could be re-used in other open-source projects (the requirements for an add-on server are often the same).
Where to start
- First you should subscribe to the Wesnoth mailing-list [2].
- Download and build NEEV [3], since you'll need to install and build Boost, it's important to build this library first (Wesnoth depends on Boost).
- Download the source of the game via Github and compile it [4].
- See the official UMCD page [5] and compile the UMCD server.
- Before starting anything, send a mail or ask on IRC, the UMCD page isn't updated with last informations.
Are you the guy?
There is only one requirement, you must choose between being motivated or being a genius. But we would like you to have some familiarity with C++11 or at least C++. If you don't know C++ but you are interested, ask us and we'll give you some references to learn C++ (but you will need to pass a lot of time learning so be warned). Classic skills in software engineering and SQL are a plus. A love for writing clean code and design is highly advisable.
Resources
- Wesnoth repository [6], especially the branch asio_umcd.
- UMCD page [7] (not updated be careful).
- Boost C++ libraries [8], especially Boost.Asio [9].
- SQLPP11 library [10].
- Neev library [11].
Whom to ask about this
- trademark on IRC or by mail <ptalbot@hyc.io> (contact me first by mail, I could miss you on IRC)
- mordante on IRC
