What is Animation Doodle?

Animation Doodle is a project developed by James Collins & Shane Creedon in an effort
to unite both drawing and artistic design with animation inside a mobile application.

How to open individual project sections (E.G.):

• Sign-In Screen
• Profile Screen
• Start Drawing Screen

To work on / open individual parts of the project and push them back using version control (Git)
simply clone / pull the project (git clone <Project_URL> / git pull origin master.

Then navigate to the code section where you will find a list of directory's representing each of
the possible activities / screens that are present in the App.

Simply choose whichever screen you would like to work on and open that particular folder (screen) in android studio.

1. Branching:
   • Be sure to branch so we don't overwrite each others work.
   • git checkout will swap branches.
   • git Branch will show you all working branches.
2. Add / Commit / Push:
   • git Commit & Push changes to your branch.
3. Merging:
   • git merge will merge your current branch with the
     branch you pass, I.E. git merge shanes_branch.
     Given that I am on master, master will merge with shanes_branch.
   • When you are checking out to master to merge your branch,
     Remember to git pull before you merge.
     Git will probably issue a warning before anyway.
4. Git Status:
   • git status will tell you which files have / have not been added or commited.

Tools / Resources:

1. The primary tool we will be using will be Android Studio 3.0.1 to build our
   mobile application.
2. We will be using GIT for version control (Gitlab)
3. We will be using Google's Blockly API to allow basic animation creation with code blocks.
4. We will be using an PHP & SQL to enable database connections and querying.
5. We will be using several API's and librarys to allow drawing / animation functionality
   within our application. These will be specified at a later date.
