While the SFML forum provides a section for projects, it happens too often that nice projects get lost in the depth of that sub-forum or that the archive with the game gets deleted. With the SFML Projects website we want to provide a platform to host, share and archive projects that were made with or for SFML.
Since this project is open source, I very gladly take in contributions. You can do this by utilizing GitHub's ways of forking and creating pull requests or by joining the IRC channel #sfmlprojects on irc.boxbox.org and talk to me. I'll also hand out commit rights to people that seem eager to help an can follow these few rules:
- The SFML Projects uses the conventions and code style defined by the Kohana team.
- The SFML projects uses the Gitflow workflow as "invented" by nvie and nicely described here by Atlassian.
- For every non-trivial change a pull request needs to be created, so I or others can review the changes.
- The only one merging pull requests into the dev or master branch is eXpl0it3r.
I'm not a fan of all these package manager and thus the install process is simply using Git.
git clone https://github.com/eXpl0it3r/SFMLProjects
git submodule update --init --recursive
- Make sure your web server points to
/path/to/SFMLProjects/public
since theindex.php
is located there. - Make sure the directories
application/log
andapplication/cache
are writeable. - Change
Cookie::$salt
inapplication/bootstrap.php
to your own custom salt. - Change the variables in the application/config/*.example files and remove the .example extension.
- To check that Kohana is ready to go, copy the
install.php
to/path/to/SFMLProjects/public
. - Browse to your fresh SFML Projects install, which should launch
install.php
via theindex.php
. - Make sure every mandatory point is green.
- Remove the
install.php
afterwards.
That's basically it. From here on you can now start with the project files itself.
