Developer Application
Byond ID? MattAtlas
Age? 16
Gender? Male
How would you define yourself? (Coder, Mapper, Spriter): Coder
If Coder, what languages? C++, enough DM to understand how to code, however I'm not excellent at it.
Any previous experience developing with SS13? I've made a few basic PRs for Aurora, although most of my actual coding work is in my TGMC PRs.
Proof of any previous or current work: This is my github account with my Aurora and TGMC contribuitions: https://github.com/NonQueueingMatt/
This is my largest C++ project yet, though a few months old and in italian: https://pastebin.com/fnnh6Uia which I would do differently if I were to do it now. We had a few hard restrictions on it, namely no arrays and a limit of 12 variables. We hadn't done functions at the time either, so this was about 4 months ago.
How well do you know Git? I understand Git well enough to make PRs and solve merge conflicts. Regularly, I use GitKraken, the git bash CLI and a bit of VSC's inbuilt Git handler.
Your primary job is server development, not policing the server. You may be given Moderator-level of access but you should *not* be invoking any administrative actions unless there are no moderators or Admins online. Do you understand? Yes
Anything else you'd like to add? I have a lot of spare time, about 60 hours a week. I've learnt the basics of DM a while ago and do wish to keep improving, mainly by contributing for CM.
I'd like to focus on the neglected whitelist role mechanics right now, considering I have all 3 whitelists, I've been in two whitelist councilsl and I can code, I figure it'd be best if I focused on fixing their bugs and balance if at all possible. I understand this probably won't be the reality and I don't mind.
I understand that my age is the biggest concern, though I've chosen to post this application regardless. My main motivator is that I have nothing to lose and everything to gain, at best the requirement'll be reconsidered and at worst I'll just be denied and wait two years.
