Intro Hi All

• Name:Jerrad "infinite_forloop" Bieno
• Social: bieno002 on Github
• From: Minnesota, United States
• Skills / Tools:I work as a Software Engineer doing mainly C++ coding for Storage Array's.
• Found via: Looking for open source projects on GitHub.
• Interests: As I've moved more into a lead role at my job, I do much more high level design and project management then actual coding. I have always been interested in contributing to open source projects and figured it would be a good way to do some coding in my spare time. I also have always been interested in game programming but I'm not good with the artistic side of game design, so I figured I could possibly contribute to open source games more on the game logic and backend side.

Does anyone have good suggestions on bite-size modules that I could start with to play around with to help get my feet wet with the code base?

You might want to have a look at this post from some time ago. It lists a number of modules in order of complexity.

It is also available in the wiki, here:

Hope it helps.

Hi @infinite_forloop and welcome

You can also check out https://github.com/Terasology/JoshariasSurvival - there's a nice single Gradle command that'll fetch it + all its dependencies in one go. JS has a little of everything to check out and @Josharias is often around on IRC and here in the forum to help answer questions and get feedback for more changes and ideas. Plus happy to have the help to tweak at it more!

There is also a contributor friendly category on GitHub for simple fixes and enhancements: https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/labels/Contributor-friendly
