Hi everyone,
My name is Yinchu Liu, a master student in Computer Science at University of Quebec working on Computer Graphics. I noticed that wine has suitable summer projects in relation to *vkd3d-shade*, although I do not have much experience writing shader since my research project is Physical-Based Amimation, I do have some experience from COMP551 and COMP559 at Mcgill University and am quite into Computer Graphics and have done a lot of CG projects. Hope I can contribute something this summer!
Best, Yinchu
Hi Yinchu,
Welcome! Glad that you're interested in vkd3d. There're three vkd3d related projects[1], do you have any preference for it?
I'm not sure if there is a tiny task for beginners. I guess no - if there is such a task, Henri would definitely add it to the wiki page[2].
My suggestion is, try to compile wine and vkd3d on your computer. You may also have a look on the todo list[3], but don't go too deep into it - some jobs may be more difficult than its first glance.
Question to Henri - do you think submitting a tiny patch, fixing a compile warning in vkd3d is a good idea when preparing a student's proposal?

For GSoC we had the requirement that students send a non-trivial patch. E.g. a new test case would qualify. I am not sure about compile warnings. Ideally there shouldn't be any, and if they are they'd be compiler/system specific (e.g. macos clang) or a new gcc version. A spelling fix in a comment however was the example for a "too trivial" patch.

Though, given how late OSPP SoC was announced, I personally think it'd be a little unfair to apply the same requirement here. Of course, if one does manage it, that would probably be a point in their favor once they apply.
