Hey guys. I was a pretty big Star Trek fan back in the day, and I still like the games, although I wish they'd be a tad better. Birth of the Federation is no exception.
I've played this game quite a bit. Every time I play it, I sit here and think to myself "gee, I wish I could change this part of the game." For whatever reason, I've been playing BoTF a lot for the last couple weeks, so I started hunting around google for BoTF links.
Keep in mind, I came across this site strictly by accident. The BoTF2 idea definitely piqued my curiosity. Also add the fact that for the last week, I have been envisioning how BoTF was put together based on the gameplay and thinking about starting from scratch with pretty much a re-hashed BoTF1 with the changes that I had envisioned the game should have gotten.
With that said, I think it would be neat to help out with this project. I am a recent college graduate in Computer Science. My strongest language is C/C++. I am a SQL database converter at my job, and so I am quite familiar with SQL, databases, data retrivial, and whathaveyou. In a nutshell, my best contributions would come from almost any back-end game programming you would need done.
I do have some exposure to OpenGL; it's just enough to understand what's going on but not quite enough to actually replicate it. With that said, it would just take time and a book or two to become more familiar with it (assuming you're even using OpenGL.)
I haven't been able to locate what development environments you are employing to create the game (language/graphics library/etc), so I am interested to see if my primary skills would be a match for the tasks you need completed. I am familiar with other minor languages such as VB, Java, HTML, Lisp (I hate this language passionately), and some others that I'm probably forgetting.
Anyways, let me know whatcha need.
