BZFlag is once again participating as a mentoring organization. Given our enormously successful participation in the program in 2007 and 2008, we are very excited to be participating again. We accepted 4 student project proposals for 2009.

	Note that for 2009, we're expecting to only accept two or three new students so that we can focus our time and attention on those individuals and our upcoming major release. That means you're really encouraged to talk with us early on and make an outstanding project proposal. The best way to get our attention at this time is to make bug fixes. We look forward to working with you!

	Add the ability to effectively manage multiple display environments from within the game allowing for the detection, alignment/orientation specification, and resolution parameters for each display via menu options as well as proper full-screen and/or windowed support. An additional feature could involve allowing the user to dedicate a display to the various primary ~~gui~~ elements (the 3D environment, the radar, and the chat console). BZFlag's current context management is mostly handled by SDL or other platform-specific modules, so this could be taken into consideration. There's also the possibility of our move to an integrated graphics engine would similarly impact how multidisplay contexts are created and managed.

	BZFlag includes players that can be run and managed from the server through a server-side ~~plugin~~. Unlike the client-side BZRobots project, server-side robots have entirely different issues that they have to account for and information that they have access to. This project would entail taking the work that has already been started to completion. As this is a continuation, please do contact the developers before proposing this idea to determine the current status and work required.
