The Sandy project has its own repository on the Google code system, which uses Subversion (SVN).

The Google code repository allows me (Thomas) to easily give some rights to people who want to contribute source code. I give these rights to people who really want to be involved into the project and who already created some extensions/bug fix to the engine or want to write documentation. You can contact us through the mailing list or the forum to show us what you propose, and I'll contact you to create the account. See below for more details.

First, you'll need to get the source code. See sourcecode

To change source code, you'll need:

• A Google code account. Sign up for gmail if you need a Google account. Then ask kirokou (Thomas) to authorize you.

• You'll need an SVN client, such as TortoiseSVN. Others SVN clients are listed here.

Note You must use https when checking out the source tree in order to be able to commit changes later!

You can access to the Google code page here:

• http://code.google.com/p/sandy

The repository is available here:

• http://code.google.com/p/sandy/source

As this page explains, you need a Google account to retrieve the source with a developer's access privileges. You get your Google password (follow the link above) and after that, you can specify the login/password to your SVN client in order to commit your modifications.

The osflash SVN is the one we are going to use for the users. The trunk for AS2 and AS3 versions and the examples/tests folders are available.

Rules of the SVN:

• Each commit shall be completed by a description that sum up the state and reasons of the modification.
• Each commit must keep the compatibility with the previous version. If it is not the case, a special statement must be attach to the commit log, and a mail describing the reason and how to make your old code working with the new one shall be sent to the mailing list.
• To avoid merging difficulties, you always have to update before commit your modifications.
