Thousand Parsec taking part in Google Summer of Code 2009

Google has published the list of accepted mentoring organizations for
Google
Summer of Code 2009. We are extremely happy to report that Thousand
Parsec
is again one of the projects which will have the opportunity to
mentor
aspiring open source developers.
A few words about us for people who might be interested into Thousand
Parsec. Our project is all about turn-based 4X space strategy games,
where
the player gets to build his very own space empire. We mostly use
Python and
C++. There is also some code written in Java, Ruby and PHP. Of course
people
who know other languages are most welcome too. One of the goals of
Thousand
Parsec is to also be able to create a Stars! clone (well in fact the
project
was at first created to be only a clone but was later extended into
general
framework).
If you are interested into having fun developing an open source game
and
don't mind US$ 4500 of encouragement to go with it, be sure to check
