How to contribute

Any positive contribution is highly welcomed. Currently only RAAM-WP with the underlying protocol specifications exists. The focus is now on creating an Android App for employing this potential and fixing / improving this software.

Server specs can be found here.

How to build

RAAM-WP is written in C++ using Qt. As it is common, you need to run qmake, nmake (or similar) and copy the resources found in resources/libs to the directory containing the executable. QMake should call windeplyqt automatically.

How to generate documentation

The Doxygen style was used to document classes and methods.

How to translate

This software uses the translation mechanism of Qt - Linguist. To add a new translation, you need to follow these steps:

1. In src/RAAM-WP.pro add another entry for the TRANSLATIONS variable as seen above.
2. In src/controller/language.cpp add another line to the Language class static member list languages like the previous examples in that file. Make sure to manuall keep an alphanumeric sorting on that list based on the full names.
3. Add a language specific Icon to resources/imgs. Make sure to name like flag-{short name as of step 2}.png. Good, libre icons with a uniform design can be found on wikimedia.
4. In resources/resources.qrc add the name of the flag icon
5. Run lupdate -none (the argument none ommits the line numbers in the translation files. That help keeping a clean git track.
6. Translate the newly created language file using Linguist.
7. Run lrelrease to create/update the binary language files.
8. Recompile project and test results.
