Developers

Hi everyone!

i was just wondering in what language is the mac version of bitfighter programmed in. Also, I would like to apply in the developer group since i'm one.

thanks guys

Oh and by the way, I am a great musician and is very close to other musicians so maybe i could add a few soundtracks too.

This Bitfighter game is mostly programmed in C++. Mac / windows / linux use the same C++ programming language, the big difference is how to compile C++ program.

As for making your changes to bitfighter, you can start out here: http://bitfighter.org/wiki/index.php/Co ... _Mercurial
The changes you can make might include fixing problems or adding features to game, or other stuff you can think of. Keep in mind that, when you clone, your changes won't be in the main repository until other developers checks your work in your clone to see if changes is good. If changes is good, then your changes may get added to main Bitfighter code. One note, we might not check your work until you tell us to check.

There is a LUA scripting programming language that runs just the robots and levelgens.

One of us is usually lurking around...

Thanks guys! I'll try mercurial.

AHHHH I'm lost with google code! How do you use it! (I made a clone)

Just tried the local copy command in terminal. WHAT DID I JUST DO!!!!

If you've never used mercurial before (or even version control systems,) I recommend studying this tutorial thoroughly:

Man this is complex. I installed it I think. Well I can use hg. But I just downloaded a clone and I found an xcode file, opened it and it has everything. Can I just use Xcode?

If you have a Mac, I think you can.

Yeah I can but I will need mercurial to post it I guess.

You'll definitely need mercurial to get the code, and to post any changes you make that should be brought back into the mainline code.

But one step at a time.

Great to see you're into music as well.

That's a sort-of combo I have myself right now.

Can't wait to hear anything you come up with, if you do decide to make some tracks.

Really! Cool. Yeah I'm in music. Well i guess I'll check out mercurial again. Thanks!
