Hi, I'm Alex Spedding
I'd like to help in the development of TDM if I'm needed. I'm near the end of a PhD in Computer Science and have a lot of time on my hands before I start a job. I've always wanted to create a stealth game, and this morning I checked out my game I was making a year ago (Unreal Engine) and it was a complete mess and made me sad and then I closed Unreal Engine.
Then I looked into writing my own engine - which would take way too long. Then I realised I can offer my skills to an open source project so why not this one!
Currently I've just downloaded the latest stable build and got 4 out of 5 building (not MayaImport), and I'm going to look through the code and try to understand the basic structure of it all.
Regarding my previous work my Portfolio, GitHub and Twitter are available. Though for the latter I haven't done any gamedev for a while so it's not as good as the other too.
Also if there are any books you'd recommend regarding the idTech Engine or just stuff that will help for learning the codebase, please suggest away
