Welcome to the Google Summer of Code 2026 application guide for pocketpy.
|
|
We are recruiting a student who is passionate about vibe coding and mobile game development.
|
|
|
|
See [Project Ideas (TBA)](./ideas.md) for more details about the project.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To apply for this project, you need to satisfy the following prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
+ You are a student enrolled in an accredited institution (university, college, etc.) pursuing a degree in computer science or a related field. And this is your first time participating in Google Summer of Code.
|
|
+ You have interest in vibe coding and mobile game development.
|
|
+ You are experienced in [Python](https://www.python.org/) and backend technologies, such as [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) or [Flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/).
|
|
+ You are glad to learn mobile app development using frameworks like [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/).
|
|
|
|
## Application steps
|
|
|
|
### Step 1
|
|
|
|
If you think you meet the prerequisites,
|
|
send an email to `blueloveth@foxmail.com` with the following information.
|
|
|
|
1. A brief introduction about yourself, including the most related open sourced project you have worked on before. It is highly recommended to attach your Github profile link.
|
|
2. Your understanding of this project and why you are capable of completing it.
|
|
3. Your free time during the whole GSoC period (From 2026-03-01 to 2026-08-31).
|
|
|
|
### Step 2
|
|
|
|
After you get a positive reply from us,
|
|
you need to complete 1~2 pull requests to pocketpy's repository on GitHub.
|
|
This is mandatory as it demonstrates your coding skills and commitment to the project.
|
|
We will provide you a few good first issues to work on.
|
|
|
|
### Step 3
|
|
|
|
Once your pull requests are merged,
|
|
we will guide you to write a full proposal
|
|
for the project you are going to work on during GSoC 2026.
|
|
This proposal will be submitted to Google for review.

## Build guide for pocketpy
|
|
|
|
First, you need to install these tools:
|
|
|
|
1. Python(>= 3.8), I am sure you already have it.
|
|
2. A C11 compiler, such as GCC, Clang or MSVC. If you are on Linux, `gcc` is already installed. If you are on Windows, you can install Visual Studio with C/C++ development tools.
|
|
3. CMake(>= 3.10), a cross-platform build tool. You can use `pip install cmake` to install it.
|
|
|
|
Then, clone pocketpy sources from github and try to build:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/pocketpy/pocketpy
|
|
cd pocketpy
|
|
|
|
python cmake_build.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If everything goes well, you will get a `main` executable (`main.exe` on Windows) in the root directory of pocketpy.
|
|
Simply run it and you will enter pocketpy's REPL.
