Hi,

I'd like to help out with programming. I'm just a beginner. I did a semester of C and a semester of C++ when I was at university. Can someone please help me get started.

Cheers,

Nicko

Hi inicko!

A good start is http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Get_involved.
How to obtain the code and data is described in http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Source_control.
Before starting to code, please read http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Coding_Style.
Stay regularly in contact to the main developers. Use the IRC chat: http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Community

I recommend you to either try fixing a small bug https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues?state=open,
or to add a tiny feature. Maybe you want to add a highscore feature to the grandprix. (When winning a grand prix, the total time is not stored in a file and not displayed in the GUI, as it is when winning a race on a single track.)
If the project you select is too complicated for a beginner, you might get disappointed and you might add extra work for the main developers.

Thanks Tuxfan!
