The time has come, Dear Community...

We live in the open-source era. Let's be true to that.

After open-sourcing the complete Sc2gears universe, here I open source Scelight with all its modules:

https://github.com/icza/scelight

The development of Scelight will not stop, it is still under development. It will continue in an open source manner.

The complete source code of Scelight is more than (another) hundred thousands lines of code. Enjoy

Here are some statistics of the sources and binaries of Scelight:

Sounds great, but what do you want to achieve with this? What are you expecting from the community?

Well for education purpose its quite good, young devs often lack some good examples to work with.
But to be fair if you don't know anything about programming you wouldn't understand what i'm saying or what is it about :p

It's not about expecting anything from the community, it's about people being able to contribute, if the wish to, to a project that was previously mostly closed. Anyone into coding that is using this app will most likely be eager to contribute.

Don't worry. nobody is expecting you to do anything, no reason to be suspicious...
oh, hai

Expecting nothing. Scelight is not open-sourced to get something back. If you're not curious how Scelight is created and developed, or you're not into coding, then it might not "touch" you.

But there are many who were really curious how Scelight can do specific things. It is also a quite big / complex project and system which is really great for educational purposes.

I'm sure it will also do a great good to many other SC2 related tools and sites as sources of Scelight are now a great source of information.

Also being open-source itself has lots of advantages. To mention a few:
  • Auditability: It's an assurance that it does not do bad things in the back (if it would, since it's open source, it would quickly be discovered and published).
  • Survival: It will not die with me (if something would happen to me).
  • Great source of information.
  • Educational purpose.
  • Involvement: people can now look behind the curtains and be able to contribute - would they have the will to do so.
  • Quality and Security: since it's open source, there might be others discovering implementation bugs which I would not - improving software quality and security.
  • Many-many more reasons, just Google for "advantages of open source software"...

Hello, I am very interested in your program. However, I am a plebeian who knows nothing about coding. Would you be kind enough to direct me to any personally-recommended sources of information? Thank

What kind of information are you looking for?

If you just want to use the software, then you can just download it from its home page: Scelight Downloads

If you're looking for information about coding, sorry, but this is not something you can pick up in 1 or 2 days. Programming (aka developing, software engineering) is an art and science which takes years to develop and master, and you can never reach the top (there is no "top" of which you can't get better).

There are plenty of tutorials and books and everything else on the internet about software development and engineering, just google it. But don't expect to become a "fluent" coder in a week.

You may want to consider adding a license to the project. I may have missed it but it looks like there's no open source license attached. Not that I think there'd be any legal troubles, but it's usually a good idea to include one.

Also thanks

Hey Dakota_Fanning,
can I just push fixes / additions to the repository or do you have some kind of audition system in place before new commits are added to the code?
Can you probably share a little bit about what, from your point of view, needs to be done? What are the next steps you'd like to accomplish?

I will write a document about the way of contributions soon.

Things that need to be done should now be recorded in the Github issues page of the Scelight repo.

I tracked some in the docs/TODO.txt but this list has not been revised for some time now, so not all might be valid or still important.

Also many things that "needs to be done" exist in the form of forum posts

Ok, made some wiki pages of:
  • Way of Contributions
  • Environment Setup

They are quite rudimentary, I will improve them by time.

This is awesome, thanks. Top of my list for integrations (if someone is looking for ideas) would be the MMR plugin from sc2gears
