Introduction

Say you've made a change to the StepMania source code and you don't have commit access. Not to worry. There are a few ways to possibly get your code integrated into the project.

via Clone

Since we use Mercurial, you can clone the project. This is useful if your change is bigger than usual. Just follow the instructions on the Checkout page.

via Bugtracker

It is possible to use our bugtracker to submit patches.

via Email

Patches should be sent to sm-ssc [at] ssc._nospam_ajworld_nospam_.net (remove _nospam_ and convert [at] to the at symbol)

Diffs are preferred, along with an explanation of what the feature/change does.

Caveats

Not every patch may be accepted. Here are a list of guidelines to follow when sending in patches:

• Make sure it's cross-platform compatible (as realistically possible). There's no point in adding something to the project unless it works on all platforms. An exception to this rule is adding support for a new platform (usually the src/arch and src/archhooks directories are involved).
• No superfluous changes that end up doing nothing.
• Follow the project coding style (Docs/Devdocs/CodingStyle.txt).
