Free art for mentorship (Irrlicht / C++)

[Broodingspark]

I'm offering free artwork for a mentorship kind of situation- somebody around online frequently who can answer my questions about Irrlicht and/or C++.

I find I keep running into small road blocks, like trying to do this:

Code: Select all

 
string filePath;
ifstream mapFile;
mapFile.open(filePath);
 

When I need to be doing this:

Code: Select all

 
string filePath;
ifstream mapFile;
mapFile.open(filePath.c_str());
 

Or screwing up my normals because I didn't know to list points clockwise, etc.

Small things, in general.

I understand game logic, and I have some C++ background, it's just been a long time...

I can do 2d art, 3d art, height maps, whatever.

Please post a response if interested, and the times you're usually online. I'm happy to have a couple people in opposite time zones for help so I can ask questions whenever (I have an irregular schedule)

The problem is that I seem to have a small question every 15-20 minutes when I'm working, and I'd feel like a mooch since I'm not competent enough to give anything back. At the moment, it's something like 15 minutes of working, a half an hour trying to solve my small question with Google... not good work flow. I might try it some time, but I'd really like to develop a symbiotic relationship with somebody who needs art help.

Thanks for the compliment

broodingspark, come on and join us at the irc. there are several people in it at any time, and most are willing to help if they can. don't worry about mooching...it is what open source is about, afterall

Thanks,

It was interesting, and I did find the experience enjoyable... but I have to say, irc is way too distracting (as somebody who is easily drawn into very nearly any kind of conversation).

I think for my own sanity/ productiveness, I'll have to steer clear (although I like to chat, it's kind of a big time sinc I can't afford with university starting again).

You can say that again If you're really against IRC, and need a quick question answered (And Im not saying that I can answer everything), Im occasionally available on MSN. (Check profile)
