This week in class we collaborated on our code as a team using different software, below were the steps we took:
Github
- Create an account on GitHub
- Download GitHub for desktop and sign in.
- Share your GitHub name on this shared doc.
- I will make you a collaborator on our repo.
- Clone my repo by selecting the current repository Add Clone
- In your folder, update the readme file with a description of what you intend to draw. This could be a portrait, a scene, an object, or something else.
- Update the sketch.js file with the beginnings of the image. Don’t forget to add comments to your code!
- We will rotate every 5 minutes. You must add something to somebody elses image with each rotation, adding comments.
We had to install a text editor as well. The target was to experience responding to other’s code in real-time and understand how to communicate code changes online simultaneously.
