Have you come to love Leek Wars, its LeekScript and its community? And would you like to contribute?
Good news! Here are a few ideas to help and encourage you!
The community
The Chat
(Just in case, it's over here!)
That's a form of contribution in itself. A game's community is vital to it. A great community can make a boring game interesting. Likewise, a bad community can ruin a very good game.
On the chat, you can talk with lots of people. Just like in real life, then. But with leeks, it's even better!
It's also a good way to learn more about the game: a lot of good advice about the game goes around on the chat. Later, it'll be your turn to share your knowledge with beginners.
Many people are regularly on the chat, helping newcomers, answering questions, chatting quietly or going off on wacky tangents. They're kind of the face of the community. They don't bite, say hi! (But don't feed them after midnight!)
The Forum
(This is where it all happens!)
Like the chat, the forum is a gold mine of information about the game. It's also a place to talk about all sorts of topics.
But messages last longer there than on the chat, which opens up other possibilities.
For example, you'll find contests there, where you can pit your skills against other players. And also "benches", to compare your algorithms with other people's on the same data set. These topics are often full of optimization ideas.
The forum is also where you can start debates on various aspects of the game, or suggest new ideas for weapons, chips, gameplay and more. Or report a bug so that it can be fixed.
The Encyclopedia
Since you're reading these lines, you probably know what it's all about.
The encyclopedia is created by the players, updated by the players, and meant... for the players!
Players who have contributor status can contribute to the encyclopedia and add their information, advice and little tricks.
You'll find lots of pages there. Some explain the game's various concepts. Others guide you through building a specific algorithm.
Feel free to lend a hand, it's always appreciated! Whether by fixing the odd typo, or by writing superb articles on leek reproduction in temperate climates.
GitHub
In September 2016, Pilow made a very interesting announcement for people who wanted to contribute through programming.
The source code of some parts of Leek Wars is now open to everyone. You can see the GitHub organization page here: Leek Wars on GitHub
So you'll find various projects there, such as:
There are several ways to contribute on GitHub, but in every case you'll need an account. (Over here!)
Issues
On the various Leek Wars projects, you'll find a tab called "Issues".
Issues are used to report the bugs you run into, but also ideas for improvements.
But be careful before creating an issue. Try not to create duplicates when a bug has already been reported or an idea has already been suggested.
Pull requests
"Pull requests" (or PRs) are a way to propose a change to a project's code to its author(s).
Through GitHub, you can get a copy of the project on your computer and change it as you like.
For example, you can fix a bug or develop a new feature, and then submit it to Pilow.
(Of course, Pilow stays in charge of his project. The final decision on whether to merge a PR is his.)
If you'd like to contribute through pull requests, you'll find more info here: Contribute via Github
