Exactly who are volunteering here ? Just to see who's available for what, so Jesse and 20 ton Squirrel know who to draw from.

I'm in....

20 Ton Squirrel · 01-29-2002, 02:21 PM

I'd like to suggest that any volunteers list their skills and what they'd like to volunteer for.

For instance, to help with the engine one should have a good grasp of C and object-oriented programming. I'm an amateur coder, so my techniques will seem a bit hackish and kludgey but I get the job done (and well, I might add).

Right...
1. Need I say ActionScripting? In the past two months, I have created, been creating, a standalone app for use as an xml based test....The engine itself isn't all that impressive, but what is, is the fact that I have created 12 different options for the test. Just to name a few....

review q & a - user can review what he answerd vs correct responses
timer - shows total time at end or not/limits test time
show hints - pics, text
randomize the answer array - or not
user prefs - user can modify from a list of 5 fonts, any colors for text, BG, buttons, border, etc
loads images with each question and info page...3 per question

Learned a lot about product development, coding...duh...structure, communication...To date the largest project I've had the privvy of doing EVERYTHING myself...
2. Am a huge testing freak...If I could have any job, I think it might be testing apps...As a "competent" as coder, I really get into the debugging phase...
3. Other than that, I ain't got much! Sorry folks, but I will have to say I am a fast learner and willing to do whatever it takes to get something done....Like I've said before, something need getting done, I'll figure the damn thing out...

Great Ide 20TS !

I guess I'm volunteering for the clientside. I have experience with GUI's, yer basic scripting (although a bit weak ...

). The rest isn't really useful here (unless we're gonna simulate human anatomy here

).

Also, although I can't help with the engine itself, I would like to monitor its progress for educational reasons (sure sounds better than "I'm a curious fella"

)

* one note - I'm not much of a debugger ! I tend to dislike a project if I'm stuck on the same part for too long ! *

Pengie, you are a developer's wet dream. A person who LOVES to test. never thought i'd see the day...

Well i'm all front end "ahem". Design and usability are my two big areas of interest.

I understand project management very well as i work in a small team environment every day.

So i can help structure wise and workflow wise at the begining if need be. Keep all the ducks in a row etc...

After the app is built i can help with the creative integration and can REALLY help with help docs etc... i'm good with words and images and explaining things.

Programming wise I'm a freakin nightmare (and not in a good way). I can usually get things to happen but it's ugly. however i'm a wiz at creating and understanding usable mechanisms and dynamics. The games that i make, i think, are really good and eploit the limitations of flash well.

basically i'm good for ideas and advice...and donuts.

and enthusiasm

Why should we volunteer In the first place ?

vilehelm · 01-29-2002, 03:41 PM

Why not - got something better to do?

Ricod · 01-29-2002, 03:47 PM

Well, its best to keep the actual deciders small. And if yer not volunteering, but have an interest, how else would the project leaders know u're interested in participating ? Or that yer up to the designated 'task' ?
