<br />
There is intentionally no specific format that students need to use to apply to BZFlag. There are several things that you should and should not do when applying.<br />
<br />
== Do's ==<br />
<br />
'''Be Detailed and Articulate.''' Go into detail about what you intend to do and how you intend to do it. Cite academic references if they're relevant to your work. Create diagrams, diagram prototypes, and show mock-ups via external links. You don't have to solve everything, but we need to see that you've thought things through. Impress us.<br />
<br />
'''Get Involved Early.''' You need to join our IRC channel, play the game, and get involved in our community. Talk to the other developers, find a mentor that likes your proposal idea. We interact with a lot of people so give us a personality that we can recognize when it comes to reviewing dozens of applications.<br />
<br />
'''Be Bold.''' We love new innovative ideas. You should make sure your idea fits into the scope of our project and is something we're interested in mentoring, but new projects are welcome. If your proposal is for one of our ideas, be innovative and ambitious in your solution. <br />
<br />
'''Be Realistic.''' Make sure the scope of your work is feasible and that you will have the necessary skills to implement your project on time. Don't be so bold that you are unrealistic, keep your abilities and time constraints in mind. If you've got another part-time or full-time job, you probably won't be able to put in the effort or time necessary.<br />
<br />
'''Be Passionate.''' Show enthusiasm for your idea. Be excited to work in game development. Excitement and passion are not a substitute for competence, but they vastly help your chances all other factors being equal. Express your passion and any background information about yourself that reinforces that passion.<br />
<br />
== Don'ts ==<br />
<br />
'''Don't copy/paste our ideas.''' If all you have to say about the idea is what we've said, it will be rejected. They are just meant to be starting points.<br />
<br />
'''Don't be brief.''' Anticipate questions, include details. If your application isn't any more than a few hundred words or less, then you're probably not including useful/necessary detail about the project, your plans, or yourself. Brief proposals very quickly get cut, especially when compared to proposals in similar areas that do include detail.<br />
<br />
'''Don't forget to tell us about yourself.''' Most of what we know about you and your abilities is going to come from your application. Include details about your background, experience, and anything else relevant to your work. If you have obligations that will impact your proposal, be upfront. You should be interacting with our community on IRC long before you submit your proposal so we have an idea how you interact.<br />
<br />
'''Don't be intimidated.''' Your ideas will be questioned and critiqued. We don't all agree, even amongst ourselves often. You will need to be able to openly and publicly talk about your ideas without being defensive. Be open to the ideas and suggestions of others and be willing to amicably engage in discussions.<br />
<br />
'''Don't be discouraged.''' During the application process, we receive a lot of applications. Be patient. If we don't respond to your application for more information, it usually means that it's either really bad or really good. Understand that we have a lot to sort through and discuss. If you have specific questions, engage the mentors over IRC.</div>Learner
