# Contributing to WiiCompiled
|
|
|
|
Thanks for wanting to help! A few ground rules
|
|
|
|
## The short version
|
|
|
|
- Code is judged on quality, not where it came from
|
|
- You must be able understand and be able to explain every line you submit.
|
|
- PR descriptions and responses must be written by you, **not** generated.
|
|
- Accuracy is the bar for anything touching game behavior.
|
|
|
|
## Code quality
|
|
|
|
We don't care how your code came into existence. What we care about is whether it meets or improves the
|
|
project's patterns and standards, and the only way we measure that is by
|
|
reading it.
|
|
|
|
Low-quality code won't be merged, regardless of origin. AI slop and human slop
|
|
get the same treatment.
|
|
|
|
## If you use AI tools
|
|
|
|
That's ok, but rules apply:
|
|
|
|
1. **You must be able to explain your changes.** If a reviewer asks why a line
|
|
exists or what a function does and you can't answer, the PR will be closed.
|
|
"The AI wrote it" is not an explanation.
|
|
2. **Write your own PR description.** The description exists so reviewers know
|
|
what you changed and why, in your words. Generated descriptions tend to
|
|
describe everything and explain nothing, and they will get your PR closed.
|
|
|
|
## Pull requests
|
|
|
|
- Keep PRs focused. try and keep it at 1 change per PR.
|
|
Small PRs get reviewed fast.
|
|
- Explain **what** and **why**. Reference the issue if there is one.
|
|
- For anything affecting game behavior: identical behavior to real hardware is
|
|
the goal. Be prepared to show your change doesn't diverge from the original
|
|
game (hardware comparison, logs, whatever fits).
|
|
- Review feedback. It's about the code, not about you ;).
|
|

## Bug reports
|
|
|
|
See the FAQ in the [README](README.md)
|
|
|
|
## A note on related projects
|
|
|
|
WiiCompiled, Wheel Wizard, and other projects in this ecosystem are developed
|
|
independently and each has its **own** contribution rules and all have their own
|
|
rules around AI usage. What applies here does not automatically apply there,
|
|
and vice versa. Check each project's own CONTRIBUTING file.
|
|
|
|
## Legal
|
|
|
|
- Never!!! include Nintendo code, assets, or game data in a PR, an issue, or
|
|
anywhere else in this project. No exceptions.
|
|
- By contributing, you agree your contributions are licensed under
