Dear fellow developers, I've decided to upgrade my fgfs addiction from just submitting janitorial/small nagging feature patches to a next level --- specifically, I've begun to study the GL APIs and would like to help the project with doing some graphics-related programming.
While I used to do pretty hardcore 2D graphics programming half my life ago (Z80 assembler on a ZX Spectrum-compatible (same video-wise anyway) computer), and an experienced C++ programmer, I'm a total newbie when it comes to 3D. Hence I am turning to the flightgear/simgear graphics gurus: Do you have in mind some graphics related aspect of flightgear that I could help with, that 1) needs me to do C++ work (I.e., I don't want a purely modelling/scripting task, unless you feel that's needed to get in to the C++ stage) 2) gives me a goal to aim towards such that I could also commit some useful for the project intermediate chunks/milestones (that I could polish until CVS integration before going on to the next one), keeping in mind that I'll learn along the way? I have around a day per week to commit to the coding, and I'll also read books atop of that. I'm willing to RTFM/read as much as possible as I go atop of that, too. Is there a good doc to get started with diving into the FG/SG graphics existing code base, other than the SG doxygen-generated pages? (If there is none, I'll log my learning trails in whoever asks for it next). I've read http://www.flightgear.org/goals.html , but it seems a bit outdated (BTW, is the site material in the CVS somewhere, so as to make it easier to send the patches against?)
