Spacewar! 12 - Code Management
You may be wondering about code management for this project. I know that I was. A little searching on the Codea forum, an excellent resource, found “Codea-SCM”, a project by “juce”. Juce provides a little program that bootstraps in a fairly large program and allows you to select projects for code management, and to push them to various hubs, including my favorite, Github. Jude’s Codea code talks to a server he wrote, which securely handles pushing, pulling, and diffing your local tabs and what’s on Github.
This looks to be very convenient for keeping back versions and I’ll be looking at making that repository public for those who want to follow along.
Anyway, it’s early days with Codea-SCM but when something works for me out of the box, I take it as a very good sign. As time goes on, we may talk more about Codea’s way of managing code, if it impacts our work.
Editing this reminds me: I didn’t push the code today. Bad habits, Ron!
