This project, in which I invest the largest part of my spare time, has taught me a lot, and it's all thanks to Widelands that my C++ skills developed to a level where I now work as a professional C++ engineer 1. After a warm and helpful reception from the community, I stuck around, contributed some Lua scripting and other easy patches, then learned advanced C++ coding and Blender 3D design while working on bigger features for Widelands. I joined the project five years ago, a Biology student dabbling in computer sciences looking for some hacking help. More recently, GunChleoc has found less and less time for coding for Widelands, and I, Nordfriese, have slowly been taking over most of the Chieftain's duties. The entire community is deeply grateful for the enormous amount of work she has put into Widelands. She has implemented hundreds of features, fixed thousands of bugs, and overseen major changes such as the project's transition from Launchpad to GitHub, and much, much more. During this time, she has contributed more to the project than any other developer. GunChleoc is Passing the Chieftain Baton to Nordfrieseįive and a half years ago, GunChleoc took over the Chieftain role of the Widelands project from our founder SirVer.
