## Contributing
### For Developers
If you would like to contribute to demboyz, here are a few tasks up for grabs:
#### General programming experience:
* Document the .dem format.
* Turn the working demboyz serialization code into a reference manual for the .dem fomat.
* Any amount of work on this helps. Document one struct!
* Develop an app that uses demboyz.
* Provide feedback on the usefulness of the json demo format.
* Create new tools previously impossible to make.
#### C++ and asm experience:
* Continue reverse engineering the STV demo structs and serialization (svc_ messages).
* Many of the reversed svc_ messages still have unknown binary chunks of data.
* Reverse them for addition to the demboyz source.
* Reverse engineer the POV demo structs and serialization (clc_ messages).
* Currently, demboyz only supports STV demos due to POV demo messages being separate and unknown.
* Work on reverse engineering the clc_ messages just like the svc_ messages.
* Add a conversion to the replay demo format.
* The replay demo format would require reverse engineering just like POV and STV demos.
### For Users
* Cheer on the developers.
* Pressure the developers.
* Become a developer.
