Contributing and suggestions

All suggestions for new features and reports for bugs should start by creating an issue, where we can discuss the topic further.

Style guidelines

• Javascript should be written according to JavaScript Standard Style
• For HTML5 follow W3School's HTML5 style guide
• Git commit messages should be done in imperative commit-style.
• Site should be light on the server, thus things should be done on Javascript. Server just serves static files, javascripts and any databases in JSON files.

Design principles

Each section of page has independent code, i.e. no sharing of code between games. This results to code duplication and some difficulties in mantaining, but this is done as games can have small or large differences in their mechanics, even across titles from same series (e.g. Battlefield 1 vs. Battlefield V). Game-specific pages can refer to elements from main site, but not the other way around.

Licensing

Code original to the Sym website is licensed under MIT license.

Content original to games is used under Fair Use. These are mainly small icons and images (e.g. images of weapons and gadgets) taken from the files of the corresponding video games (e.g. Battlefield and Apex Legends titles).
