Someone needs to move the rest of the stuff over and decide on some structural issues, such as where to place the c++ tutorial.
The Soar Project
Project Status: Inactive
The purpose of the Soar project is to help newcomers start to participate in WorldForge and learn some C++ in the process. Soar will be a simple, text based eagle simulator. The objective of the game is to have a brood of hatchlings fly off on their own. The first version will not use a server, but later more complicated versions could be made. A C++ tutorial is also being made as a side product of Soar.
Meetings:
Go to the Meeting Section.
The meetings used to be held weekly at Fridays, 19GMT, on #soar at irc.worldforge.org. But there are no
longer any meetings. If you still need help with converting the local time to GMT, check out the Schedule section.
Pages of interest:
- The goals and overview of this project are now located here.
- Look at our current team.
- Read the to task list.
- Read and contribute to the snapshots to help decide what the game is going to be like.
- Here are the rules that we are working on.
- Take a look at the current design for soar, including a number of clarifying diagrams and a skeleton implementation.
- Read project history on the News page.
- Some early header files are availible via wiki
here.
IRC Channel

Soar project. If you are interested in this project drop by!
Mailing lists
Ideally the Soar project will make use of three mailing lists.
rules@worldforge.org will be for messages that regard the rules and "physics" of Soar. For example, the hit points of the eagle, skills, and how much food is needed will be listed in rules. client@worldforge.org will be messages that regard the coding of Soar. This will include debug problems, flowcharts, and how to implement the rules into the game. general@worldforge.org can be used for messages that don't fit in either of the above mailing lists.
Subscription information can be found at the communication tools page.
If you think that another mailing list is needed announce it at
News just in: One of the suggestions from the previous meeting was a list of one-person newbie projects, to help people get involved. Until we find somewhere better, the project list is here , and a list of mentors, where people on the projects can get help, is here .
