I am a computer science student from Macedonia, and I am interested in participating in GSoC 2013. I found this on the project ideas page:
and I would like to work on it. I started getting acquainted with OGRE a few months ago, and I've made a game demo as a school project(a simple side-scroller action game). I would like to make another one as a part of GSoC, and I have a few questions regarding this project:Create a small game using OGRE to demo its power
What kind of a game should this be(would a FPS or an action/RPG be OK?), and how big(small) should it approximately be?
Should the game be a part of the Ogre Demos(Samples), or a standalone application?
I'd also like to know if there would be any kind of violence allowed. For example, would the main character be allowed to shoot(or hit) enemies?
Cheers,
Vidak
P.S. Here's a video clip of my game, if anyone wants to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSjmXsy5d6M . Also, can anyone recommend me a good book for improving my C++, especially for game programming? I'm not a complete beginner, but I'm no expert either.
