Guide to contributing to the game
This is more of an index to contributing to the game. Note that your solutions might not be used and it is possible for them to even be ridiculed. Please do not take offense and try to get as much constructive criticism out of it as you can. If your work does get put in, than congratulations!!
I hope this covers everything, if not, join #coderbus and ask there.
