Hi Rohit, If your question is about how to "get started" in terms of e.g., an overview of the source code, how the class hierarchy is arranged, unfortunately there isn't one really. You can try to look on devdocs.wesnoth.org if you find that helpful. IMO the two most natural starting points to start reading the source code of a game are usually
1.) Where is the "main" function? In current master it is in src/wesnoth.cpp. 2.) Where is the "idle loop" which runs when I am in the game doing nothing? In current master, this loop can be found by finding where the function "play_slice" is called. This function polls the user-input event queues. It is a method of the various "play_controller" objects which allocate and destroy much of the in-game data and drive the sequence of events. In wesnoth, another fairly natural place to try to start reading is in the code that implements WML tags. Many of these are implemented in src/game_events/action_wml.cpp. Good Luck, iceiceice On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 11:38 AM, Charles Dang <[email protected]> wrote: > Join the #wesnoth-dev IRC channel on freenode.
