OCUK programming project?

There's less moderation with emails though, we need something that can give more dynamics otherwise we could end up with a lot of unneccesary email in our inbox. and if you want notification you can just subscribe to a thread
 
moderation isn't necessary in an open source project.. the very idea is actually quite alarming. Sure, there'll probably be spam mails (if you make say a sourceforge mail-list) but what else are you going to moderate? Moderating any kind of discussion is not wise; it'll just peeve people and they'll not want to contribute. :)

As for number of mails.. well, personal folders and filters for the win. :)
 
How about cloning something?

Isometric games are popular, 2d and we can take cue's(+code! assuming it's a fully open license) from OpenTTD.

Plenty of scope for Object Oriented and proceduarl code, backend complex stuff for the advanced programmer, lots of little bits to do on top for those learning.

Anyone for OpenRT (rollercoaster tycoon)?
 
I'm pulling out sorry guys. I suggest you look at every one of Dj jestar's posts - they give sound advice in every one of them - advice you should take!

And of course, there's my own... :p

Good luck :)

All I have seen is information about games, I haven't seen anything about anything web based? anything I've missed?

Jim it's going to be a game as that's what everyone seemed to want. But I *really* hope there'll be a web element to this.

P.S. can anyone get on the forums? I can't at my end.
 
====== General Update ========

Concepts are being suggested here: http://www.zorev.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4

Discussions on languages are being discussed here: http://www.zorev.com/showthread.php?t=14

A poll of language knowledge is here: http://www.zorev.com/showthread.php?t=16

The concepts that seem viable will be voted for here either on OCUK or over that the forums.

Those that want to get involved please do by registering over at the forums (we've had a great turnout so far).

The next meeting is on IRC on Tuesday at 8:30PM.

(the OCUK channel - I'll repost details of how to get on it again on Monday)


Hopefully in Tuesday's meeting we will to getting a distribution list / mailing list setup. Also a quick round up of the current concepts list. Then a "informed" discussion about programming language & engine choice - as we *should* have all looked into them by now (if not this will be left for a week). We also need to address what training options we have for helping people getting to grips with what ever we choose as our primary language (do we give links or do we do instruction ourselves etc..)

Cheers, progressing really well, thanks for to all those that've helped out thus far/.

Dangerstat


EDIT:

We now have our own IRC channel #ocuk-dev on freenode! yay
