Contributing to löve for University project

Hey everyone, my name is Matteo and I'm Computer Science and Engineering Student at the Free University of Bolzano.
A course this semester requires that I find an opensource project written in c++ and contribute something to it.
Since I've played around with löve in the past I decided to choose it for my project.

I initially thought about updating the box2d version used in löve,
but it looks like that was already done so now I don't know what to do :c

I see that there are various other things in the issue tracker that I could look into,
but I thought that maybe you guys have a concrete idea of what I could do to help.

About the project itself: I have about 2 more weeks to get familiar with the code, then I have to present what I want to do,
and then I get about 6 more weeks for actual programming.

Thanks for your attention,
Matteo

Welcome! There's an Android port project that you could help in (well, actually I don't know if it's a one-man project; you better ask: viewforum.php?f=11). Or you could try to port Löve to iOS :D

It would probably be a good idea to talk to the developers through IRC.

Perhaps the answer lies in issue #1: implement microphone input. My understanding is that we have the ingredients, we just need a chef. Sounds like a doable project that won't step on any toes, but will definitely contribute to the strength of Love.

On behalf of all developers, I'd like to invite you to talk with us on irc.

(Well, at least the ones that matter :P)

Thanks, guys, I guess that I'll log into IRC tomorrow and talk to the devs.

Sadly, the project has to be written in c++, and that pretty much rules out both ios and android development :( . Also that sounds like waaaay too much work for the limited amount of time I have.

That actually sounds like a neat idea! I'll keep that one in mind, thanks! ^^
