Any other details you feel we should consider

I am very excited about Summer Coding, I decided propose because it is perfect oportunity to work and learn. I have good experience with C language, my biggest goal was C++(only subset) interpret written in C. I did not managed that only by my self, but I had team of my classmates. I am currently working on simple webclient with protocols HTTP 1.0/1.1, which might be useful for the idea that I have chosen. Here is my simple Pong game that I have made long time ago in Unity: https://github.com/xhalin01/pong.
