Instruction

Set Up Programming Environment

You need to have git, cmake, and C++ compiler in your computer to complete this assignement. Read the following document to install these.

How to Set Up C++ Programming Environment

Go to Local Repository

if you don't have the local repository, clone it from the remote repository

$ git clone https://github.com/ACG-2022S/acg-<username>.git

Go to the top of the local repository

$ cd acg-<username>     # go to the local repository

Update Local Repository

Please updat the local repository on your computer

$ git checkout main   # set main branch as the current branch
$ git fetch origin main    # download the main branch from remote repository
$ git reset --hard origin/main  # reset the local main branch same as remote repository

Set Up GLFW Library

GLFW library is necessary to compile the code. Read the following document to install the library.

Creating a Branch

To do this assignement, you need to be in the branch task00. You can always check your the current branch by

$ git branch -a   # list all branches, showing the current branch 

You are probably in the main branch. Let's create the task00 branch and set it as the current branch.

$ git branch task00   # create task0 branch
$ git checkout task00  # switch into the task0 branch
$ git branch -a   # make sure you are in the task0 branch

Compile the Code and Edit This Document

After the environment is ready, let's build and compile the code. We do out-of-source build by making a new directory for build task00/build and compile inside that directory

$ cd task00
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. 
$ cmake --build .

Update this markdown document by editing acg-<username>/task00/README.md .Please learn the syntax of the markdown document by yourself.

Submit

Finally, you submit the document by pushing to the task00 branch of the remote repository.

cd acg-<username>    # go to the top of the repository
git status  # check the changes
git add .   # stage the changes
git status  # check the staged changes
git commit -m "task00 finished"   # the comment can be anything
git push --set-upstream origin task00  # up date the task0 branch of the remote repository

got to the GitHub webpage https://github.com/ACG-2022S/acg-<username> . If everything looks good on this page, make a pull request.

Trouble Shooting

• I mistakenly submit the assignement in the main branch
  • Make a branch task00 and submit again
