Introduction

Epiar is always in need of help with development, whether from experts or those hoping to learn, we're a community project and at the end of the day, we're all here to have fun: no one is turned away for lack of knowledge.

Specifically, we use the following technologies; you don't have to know them all (or any!): C/C++, Lua, OpenGL, SDL and XML.

Say Hello

The most important thing is to say hello to the other developers - they ultimately will be able to answer questions that this document cannot. To do so, join the epiar-devel mailing list at ​http://epiar.net/mailinglists and simply post a message stating who you are and what you're interested in.

Explore the Source Code

Download the source code and look around; you might immediately find something you feel is in need of work, but maybe you won't. Talk to the folks on epiar-devel to find out what needs work next, or to find out if your idea is something the team would like to see.

Submit a Patch

When you're ready to contribute code back, you should submit a pull request to either cthielen or knowknowledge on github.com. If you do not wish to use github, you can always submit a diff'd .patch file but please be sure your code is up to date as of the day you send it.
