If you haven't already, come find us in Discord. Connecting with other contributors is a good way to identify pitfalls and ramp up on reverse engineering progress more quickly. Developers in particular may also want to consider joining the GGPO Discord.
Please do:
- Submit issues when you find a bug! Our issue template has a good checklist of things to include when submitting an issue. Issue reports without a complete description may be rejected outright.
- Include video evidence when sending issues! Video is extremely helpful for both describing and reproducing issues. If you have the computing resources to spare, you may want to consider recording tests with OBS or another screen-recording solution.
Please do not:
- Submit feature requests. As players, we already have a lot of features in mind- to the point where we could work on this project as if it was a full time job.
Please send a GitHub Pull Request to @adanducci's repo with a clear list of what you've done (read more about pull requests).
Always write a clear log message for your commits. One-line messages are fine for small changes, but bigger changes should look like this:
$ git commit -m "A brief summary of the commit
>
> A paragraph describing what changed and its impact."
