For my senior project I have been developing an educational computer game to teach digital logic. The working title is "Computer City: Sewers," since the game takes place in the lowest level of a city ( corresponding to digital logic, which is conceptually the lowest level of the computer architecture ). The game is puzzle-based and is written in C++ with the OpenGL API.

Hackathon

Getting Started

github is the source code control of choice for this project. Below are the instructions for downloading the source code from github:

  1. Set up an account at github (it's free)
  2. Let me know your username once you have created an account so I can add you to the contributors list
  3. On a shell, type the following:
$ mkdir Sewers
$ cd Sewers
$ git init
$ git config user.name <your git username>
$ git config user.email <your email>
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:amweeden06/SRSem-Project-2009.git
$ git pull origin master
$ cd Source/ACL
  1. You should now be in the directory with the source code. To build, type
$ make
  1. This will make an executable called Sewers. To run, type
$ ./Sewers
