Development

Roborampage is deployed at http://stenington.github.io/roborampage and in several Thimble makes linked from there.

Get Started

git clone https://github.com/stenington/roborampage.git
cd roborampage
npm install
node bin/server.js

Then navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the main site.

Navigating to a tutorial directory, e.g. http://localhost:3000/hacks/colors, will give you a Thimble emulator of sorts.

Developing

Most of the .html files are generated from corresponding .tmpl Jinja/Nunjucks templates. Output targets are listed explicitly in bin/compile.js.

The development server always re-renders output targets.

Use node bin/compile.js to compile all output targets.

Tests

With node bin/server.js running, visit http://localhost:3000/test/ to see the mocha test suite for the game code.

Tutorial instructions and line numbers are currently verified manually.

precommit-hook is used with bin/validate.sh to prevent committing mismatched template/output files.

Deployment

1. Run node bin/compile.js to ensure all templates have been rendered.
2. Commit changes to gh-pages branch.
3. Push upstream.
4. Copy/paste the contents of ./copypaste.html into the main Thimble make and save it. (Make ids are listed in bin/compile.js CONFIG.)
   • I use cat ./copypaste.html | pbcopy to put the contents in the clipboard.
   • Make sure you're editing the make, not remixing, before you save.
5. For each tutorial, copy/paste the contents of hacks/<name>/copypaste.html into the corresponding Thimble make, and save.
   • When you paste the new content in, the tutorial line numbers will change! Save and refresh before confirming line numbers.
