Hi I ran into some issues with trying to get gradle running.
I have a developer friend who is helping me with with it, have you run into this issue?

I think I need to correctly show IDEA the file path to Java

@jack-sarles hi, Panther recommended that I introduce myself here. I was interested in helping out with programming for TripleA

Hi @kwaspek104

Feel free to head over to https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea to have a look at the code. This is a rather old codebase, so there are a lot of things that can be done to improve it. I want to emphasise that we're a volunteer driven project, and we're doing this mostly for fun.
At least for me the reason I'm not as active currently basically boils down to the fact that I haven't got as much free time as I used to have. Life comes at you fast.
Of course I can't speak for everyone at the dev team but usually we're happy to help if you need some pointers in the right direction or some help to understand a certain part of the code. Just ping me (@RoiEXLab), @asvitkine and maybe also @DanVanAtta on GitHub and we'll come back to you.
So feel free to ask any questions you might still have.

@prastle I'm a long-time (on and off) TripleA user and so thankful for everything you all do to keep this community alive. I'd love to get more involved in whatever capacity I can be helpful (moderator, etc.--I'm not a developer).

One idea I had: TripleA should form a nonprofit and apply for its tax exemption. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, donations to TripleA would be tax deductible, which could open up opportunities for greater fundraising. In addition to the tax deduction available to individuals who donate, there may also be folks who have donation matching programs through their employers. This could really increase the TripleA budget.

I'm a tax lawyer, and I would be happy to discuss and/or assist with that process.
