Google Code-in

Prerequisite: Having set up a developer workspace (https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/4787385392955392) and some degree of comfort setting up the source code, running the game, and making minor changes (like making simple new content)

Also: a friend you can pester to actually get Terasology running from source to the point where they can add a piece of content to the game and test it out (a new block, item, recipe, etc - comparable to any of our new content tasks like adding a potion or a new piece of equipment). Doing this with a friend who aims to sign up to become a GCI student could work, so long as it is done really well (if the friend can do it easily on their own this shouldn't count!)

You may be able to do this task as they do the set up a workspace task. Just please go the extra distance in that case to show the work well on both sides. Naturally you need two computers - can't do this twice on the same one.

Goal: Report on the process of helping said friend set up a workspace. What challenges did they face? What was confusing? Could the wiki pages be improved somehow?

Include a screenshot from their system showing the game running from source with a new piece of content present in the player's hand or in an appropriate crafting station ready to be created.
