**Name and Contact of the Project Mentor:** Andrew Havens, [email protected]…m **Name of the Project:** RubyGameDev.com **URL:** [Homepage](http://www.rubygamedev.com), [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/ruby-rcade/RubyGameDev.com) **About the Project:** RubyGameDev.com is a community-driven, information hub which helps others to build games in Ruby. It's a non-commercial, open-source, Rails 4 application that was originally built during the 2013 Rails Rumble. The goal of RubyGameDev.com is to become a valuable, library-agnostic resource to the Ruby programming community. It's meant to help beginners get started with game programming and help advance the quality of Ruby-based game programming libraries through centralized discussion and collaboration. **Suitable for beginners?** Yes! This project is ideal for beginners as it is a standard Rails application. I have listed a sample schedule below that could be modified based on your experience. **What are issues/features students may work on?** There's a lot of work that could be done, which could provide an opportunity for you to choose an area which interests you. There's currently a list of [issues/ideas in the GitHub repo](https://github.com/ruby-rcade/RubyGameDev.com/issues). Here is a sample of some of the features that you could work on: - Create a digest email of recent activity - Add a more formal "guides" section for beginners (like Rails Guides) - Build out the libraries section to be more like ruby-toolbox.com - Integrate a StackOverflow feed using their API - Add ability for developers to showcase the games that they've built - Add ability to post a tutorial, video, slide deck, etc - Add ability to vote on links - Lots of other miscellaneous improvements, or add your own to the list! ### Sample Schedule: 1. Learn how to use git - Make some updates to the project's `README.md` and learn how to submit a GitHub pull request 2. Learn basic Ruby syntax 3. Learn some basic features of Rails - Submit a pull request which implements a small feature or change 4. Learn how to write unit and integration tests - Submit a pull request which implements some tests for features that were never tested 5. Try test-driven-development - Write tests for the feature you want to implement - Implement the feature until your tests pass - Submit a pull request 6. Update the project's `README.md` with a review of the things you've learned in order to help someone else get started contributing to the project. 7. Continue to implement features as time allows

I really love gaming and I started learning IT because of that, because
I
love coding and game both. But you don’t have to be a gamer as this is
about Ruby on Rails.

Of course it would be great, if you live in Helsinki region, but we
would
also like to work virtually(Madeye etc)! So if you are living far away,
doesn’t matter!

Thanks for reading! Please give us an e-mail. ([email protected] or
[email protected] )

Best Regards,

Won Seob Seo and Yasamin Salami

Hei Won,

I have some years of experience as Ruby, Python and JavaScript developer
and my github username is neutrino. I will be here, in Helsinki, at
least
till the end of summer and if you are interested in having me as coach,
please let me know. Also, is there any prerequisite for it?

cheers
