BrickCamp is a visual dictionary for LEGO® building techniques.

Foundation

BrickCamp is only possible because of some amazing projects and technologies out there. This project is based on:

• Grav: An amazing flat-file open-source content management system
• Twig Templating: An easy-to-learn templating engine used by Grav
• Markdown: A simple markup language for formatting text
• YAML: One more markup language, this time for configuration and metadata
• LDraw: An open standard for LEGO® 3D modelling
• LeoCAD: A CAD programm based on the LDraw standard
• Rebrickable.com: A LEGO® creations platform with open-accesible data/images
• GitLab: The source-code versioning platform where this project started

A huge thanks to each and every one of these projects and their supporting communities.
