Ideas
So you have an idea and don't know where to post it? Simple... check if it's already been submitted and if it hasn't, post it here.
Icons, glyphs, sprites, animations... images
For an overview on spriting see our Guide to spriting.
You have what it takes to make a 32x32 pixel image actually look like something? We're always on the lookout for good spriters. There are sprite request threads on the forums.

The most successful coders will hang out with the rest of the coders and maintainers in #coderbus on irc.rizon.net.
There's also a rarely used forum for coding

A Guide to mapping is available. If you have any additional questions please ask #coderbus on irc.rizon.net.
