Or rather, would this be presentable to companies if I were to go to an interview at a programming company (possibly high-tech). I remember reading somewhere that it is illegal to hex the clients for RO and allow others to access your servers (though this is required if you're going to open the server and allow others to play on it), so would this look bad? I'm just curious BTW, I'm a undergraduate student who is looking for open source software to work on. does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment

NPC scripting wouldn't count as an applicable skill. I plan on applying to an intern ship as well! Quote Link to comment

My professor happened to know of RO/Athena and also was a self proclaimed "geek" so that was fun. Needless to say I passed the final exam with a 97%. If you're doing something like Scripting/Programming/Game Development I think you could defiantly use materials you create for this community and apply them to real life applications... Just take the core elements like Arrays/Trees/Bitwise mumbo-jumbo that most languages posses and present them in creative ways that illustrates your overall knowledge of the art. With that being said I think it's also important to have a broad knowledge in other things as well don't just center the entire thing around Ragnarok Online. Quote Link to comment
