Code sample

Link to your fork with a patch/code sample for Tiled.

Note: Tiled requires all students to submit a patch. This does not need to be accepted and merged, but it does need to be online and available for potential mentors to inspect. Contact your mentors if you have questions about what constitutes an appropriate sample. Applications without a valid code sample will be rejected.

Proposal

Title

The name of your proposal. This should explain in a few words what you plan to do. e.g. "Porting the map view to Qt Quick" or "An RPG runtime for Tiled".

Abstract

A short description of your proposed project

Detailed Description / Timeline

A detailed description includes design considerations, decisions that are to be made and where applicable UI mockups or other images. Provide enough information and structure, both to convince a potential mentor that you can succeed with your project and to make this proposal a useful resource while working on your project.

Please include timeline with milestones, preferably weekly ones.

We recommend reading the GSoC student guide which includes several examples of good proposals with timelines and a lot of useful information.

Note that any pre-work such as setup and reading documentation should take place before GSoC starts.

Acknowledgements

Is there anything important missing that we should know?
Do you have any other commitments during the main GSoC time period?
Do you have exams or classes that overlap with this period?
Do you plan to have any other jobs or internships during this period?
Do you have any other short term commitments during this period?
e.g family wedding, conference, volunteer projects, planned vacation days

NOTE: GSoC is intended to be a full-time job, but sometimes if a student is starting or finishing an internship with a week or two overlap something can be worked out.
