How can I best help

I’dd like to chip in. I have some C++ OO education and even experience dating back to my university years and have modded source code for programs to my own preference in vs 2005. My strong points are analysis, design & math, my weak point without doubt knowledge of libraries and the functionality they contain. I think this makes it more appropriate for me to work on db specific code, as opposed to for instance GUI or internet functionality
For me the first step would be reading the code, commenting where appropriate followed by some simple code extensions to get familiar and going. Is there any place you’d recommend or like to see me starting?

Numsgil:
Glad you want to help

All the code is written in C#, so the first step would be to become familiar with it compared to C++. I think you can find some FAQs to that effect online. (clicky),

The second step is to get the source to compile.  At this moment, I'm in the process of setting up the installation program for Darwinbots and the source code, so if you give me a few days it'll be a lot easier on you.  As to what you can work on, I could probably use some help with physics (there are a lot of unit tests I need to write, for instance), or you can work on the DNA code (some core features still need to be fixed, and some unit tests are failing, and I'd like the unit tests to be moved to using the built in unit testing capabilities of VS208).  I'm not really set up to start work on the core gameplay stuff (shots, shell, reproduction, etc.) until these more basic systems are up and running.

I read up on the unit testing thing. It's still vague and abstract to me. I'll follow your lead, if it goes beyond following function output in a dump to screen.
Let me know when you have done the update. Double work if I start earlier.

I would like to help out to

I am learning Java and will learn as much as I can about C#.
will let you know of any developments.

Numsgil:
Cool.  Java and C# are actually extremely similar.  I was able to help my sister with her Java programming homework having never programmed in Java before.

Check out the wiki, I have a link to a pretty good introduction to unit testing.
