Welcome to GSoC 2020!

Hi!

GDevelop is one of the open-source organization accepted for Google Summer of Code 2020. It’s a great opportunity for students to be able to participate to the development of an open-source project, learn and sharpen their programming skills :slight_smile: And this year, GDevelop is part of these projects!

This forum category is dedicated to discuss about Summer of Code 2020, mainly for:

  • questions for your proposal, if you are a student that want to work with us this summer. The guidelines for your proposal are here. You can also send your questions by email, you’re not forced to make a thread on the forum.. Please also make sure to actually make your application during the application period.
  • other questions about GSoC and GDevelop in general. Make sure to search for existing threads to avoid duplicates. If it’s a generic question about GDevelop usage, better post in another category of the forum.

We’re still in the early stage of this year edition of GSoC, so I’ll update this with frequently asked questions as we progress :slight_smile:

Hi Pawan, yes this is the correct repository, have you tried to follow the README? :slight_smile:

Hi, I am Prashant Bajaj. I am a GSoC’20 aspirant. I am well versed in JavaScript and also in React. I am looking forward to contributing to the GDevelop game editor. I would like to know how can I start with the same. Also is there any particular channel regarding the discussion on GSOC?

This forum is the discussion channel :slight_smile: You can go on the Discord for casual chats.

To get to know how to start, I won’t give any detailed explanation - because it’s a good exercice for students to actually find the GitHub repository and see how to start GDevelop development environment. It’s not difficult, it’s all written and explained :slight_smile:

I’ve also added some more details at the end of GDevelop and Google Summer of Code [GDevelop wiki]

Hi guys, my name is Ata, I am from Istanbul Technical University, I am a game developer myself and other than making games I am trying to learn how to develop a game development tool :smiley: I am trying to make games with GDevelop and try to learn the source code, 4ian do you have any suggestions?

Hi both!
Thanks for your interest :slight_smile: Make sure to take a look at the last paragraphs I’ve added recently to GDevelop and Google Summer of Code [GDevelop wiki]

My suggestions are to then git clone the repository, read the README to get the development version of GDevelop started and try a few things. You may want to look at:

  • The editor source code (React, JS): newIDE/app/src/
  • The game engine source code (Pixi.js, JS): GDJS/Runtime/
  • The core classes (C++): Core/

Take a look at the list of Good First Issues on GitHub. Solving or working on an issue will be very useful for making a strong proposal. :slight_smile:
