Introduction: Medo42 and Netplay for Android
Hi everyone.
I'm Medo42, one of the students who will be working on Hedgewars as part of the Google Summer of Code. Some people might know me as the main programmer of Gang Garrison 2, a game which re-imagines Team Fortress 2 as a game from the DOS era1. There is also a slim chance that you know me from a place called Germany where I am known as Simeon, a student of computer science just finishing his diploma thesis. It's about quadrocopters.
My task will be to fill in the biggest missing pieces of the Hedgewars Android port: Netplay and scheme editors. This means you will finally be able to make and join online games with players from all other platforms, and to customize the game rules and weapons with all the options you have in the PC version. There will also be some work on the internal plumbing, to make it easier for ports to other platforms to add Netplay as well.
A big thanks to all Hedgewars developers for trusting me with this project, and in particular to Xeli who is taking the time to be my mentor and help me learn the ropes. I'm looking forward to working with you.
1 You can play it over the internet though, so there is no need to dust off your nullmodem cables.

The stress test portion of that video where you abuse the poor little 'bot is pretty cool.
'specially where you push it just a bit too far
