Looking for Help...

ShizZy · Posted: January 28, 2009, 5:46 PM Post subject: Looking for Help...

As we are in the process of preparing the next closed beta release (N'Sider), we have decided it would be best for the project to expand our team to include new programmers. The emulator, although very far along in development, is still at a stage where there are many areas of emulation that have yet to even be touched, and the areas that have been worked on are still very incomplete and lacking features. It is simply a lot of work to keep up with with only two developers.

If you are interested in contributing to the project, please let us know what section of the project you are interested in working on (although you will not be limited by this), and your relevant programming experience. If we feel that you will be an asset to the team, we will then welcome you and provide you will all developer access. Smile

Any inquiries or questions can be sent to me via forum PM. It's a great opportunity to join a very motivated team (I speak for both the developers, testers, N'Siders, and everyone else part of the project) and a very great community.

In addition, we are looking to enhance the website design. If you have interest in this, and experience, please feel free to contact me as well.

Thank you!
Eric

Low Lines: surprised Shizzy hasn't responded yet about the website stuff as I honestly don't know.

nickel696: just the way such projects tend to go

I started working on the new website... for now I'm keeping the same theme and just trying to integrate everything together. (compat list, nsider section, media section, maybe even the downloads)

The idea is to have everything driven by the forums (phpBB3)
Made a quick install and data conversion in http://www.gekko-emu.com/new/forums/
Started converting the default theme to the gekko one also.

Currently working on mainpage tied to the forum, etc...

Low Lines: if you ahve ideas or wish to contribute, let me know. I'm on IRC most of the nights (eastern time)

Meh, fiddling with forums code is tedious Razz

Looks good what your doing though. Wells if you want anything (graphical wise) I'd be more helpful but yeah ^_^

It's not that bad as I'm not modifying original code, I'm adding on top of it. Working with phpbb3s templates is pretty cool.

As for new design, you'd have to check with ShizZy Smile

Low Lines: We need a new graphical theme. I really like what you did with your website... maybe you'd be interesting in giving our "look" a little revamp. Hop on #gekko on Efnet if you're interested and chat with us Smile

You said you are looking to tie in the mainpage with the fourm. You could always do that with a portal. There are several phpBB3 portals now. Back when it first released I forget what portal I used. Sadly those sites are no longer up since my partnership fell apart last year but anyway since I don't think you are looking to switch things up too much then alphaPORTAL maybe the way for you to go.

I can help with web design, not flash but strict CSS and graphics. As for PHP I'm okay with that I'm sure Chrono is a whole lot better though.

I wish I had more experience, this type of stuff interests me a lot. Unfortunately all I've manged is a chip8 emulator and an (unfinished) space invaders emualtor.

A lot of this stuff seems like a "where do I even begin" sort of project.
