If you'd like to get involved in ScummVM - or one of our sister projects, such as ResidualVM - we'd love to help you get started! | If you'd like to get involved in ScummVM <span style="color:red">- or one of our sister projects, such as ResidualVM - </span> we'd love to help you get started! | ||
We've had a lot of successful student projects as part of Google's Summer of Code in previous years -- we hope to inspire you to work with us and (hopefully) add your own success. | We've had a lot of successful student projects as part of Google's Summer of Code in previous years -- we hope to inspire you to work with us and (hopefully) add your own success. | ||
We often get asks by students with no experience with ScummVM whether they have the necessary skills to participate with us. The idea of GSoC is to introduce students to open source development, so we are not expecting you to have experience with ScummVM. You will have time during the application and community bonding periods to familiarize yourself with the project. The technical skills required to work with us varies from task to task. For any work on ScummVM, you'll probably need to already be comfortable with a basic level of C++. Some of the tasks might need more specialized knowledge (for example, working with ResidualVM may need you to understand some OpenGL and 3D math, and some engine tasks may require some assembly or reverse engineering knowledge); we give our thoughts about this alongside each suggested task, below. | We often get asks by students with no experience with ScummVM whether they have the necessary skills to participate with us.

Most importantly, we'd like you to join our community. There are many previous GSoC participants who are still involved in our project, and whether or not you participate as part of Summer of Code, we'd love for you to get involved too. | Most importantly, we'd like you to join our community.
