Platform developers work on the code which runs the core of Sirikata worlds. Both the core system and plugins implementing. Examples of code developed by platform developers are the core message forwarding code, physics simulation plugins, the renderer for clients, and scripting plugins.
- You'll need to Check out and build the code before you can contribute any changes.
- The Platform Developer's Guide is the best reference for platform development. It provides:
- A high-level breakdown of the components of Sirikata's architecture, followed by more detail on each component.
- A tour of the source code should help you get into the code and figure out where you want to start working.
- Tutorials covering a few common tasks in the Sirikata code and describing how to use some utilities already available within the code base.
- Platform Developers starting page is how you learn about Sirikata's architecture and getting involved in it's development.
- Platform Developer Communication describes how to get in touch with other platform developers, both synchronously and asynchronously.
- Documentation is very much a work in progress but this is an overview what we currently have
- The roadmap gives a 10,000 foot view of developers current plans
- Looking for something to work on? Check out some coding project ideas.
