Meeting

The next Kolf developer meeting will be on May 26, 10:00 UTC (in your local time here), at the IRC channel #kdegames, freenode network. Join us if you like.

Topics

Current developments
Outstanding design issues in the kernel
[add more topics here]

Unsolved design questions

Internal design of the landscape objects
How to integrate artwork into the object rendering (at least 2D)?

Outstanding tasks

Pick one if you like, and start to contribute! (Names in parentheses mark assigned tasks.)

Fundamental class design

allow for multiple geometries per object (Stefan)
redesign the putter class to allow for different types of putters

Objects

landscape objects (GSoC)
windmill object
bumper object

Overlays

blackhole overlay

Game engine

a new persistency framework, along with Save/Undo/Redo actions (Stefan)
support for network playing via GGZ (currently blocked, waiting for KGGZ libraries to arrive in trunk)

3D view

rendering stuff in 3D (Casper)
make OpenGL an optional dependency in the build system and in code

Editor interface

an object model with which objects on the view can be selected
an object toolbox where objects can be added to the view
a property view based on the editor model and type models

Miscalleneous/Junior Jobs

remove hard-coded colors from the code, replace with KColorScheme brushes

-This page is intended to list the tasks that need to be done in Kolf 2. We can divide these tasks into the following three groups: objects, engine, and interface.
