hello lovely people! and welcome to the 100-dev jam. (here is the discord as well.) this is the definitive guide for how to get set up to participate if you aren’t sure what to do. let’s get going!

godot

firstly, you’ll need to download and install godot if you haven’t already.

git

secondly, you’ll need to integrate it with git. if you haven’t used git before, we recommend installing and using github desktop.

once you have that set up, go to file > clone repository as shown.

file > clone repository

in the url or username/repository field, enter 100-Devs-1-Game/Pong-Test-Run for the test run or Griiimon/100-devs-misc for the full project, then press clone.

after that, select repository > pull to download the project files.

repository > pull

finally, select repository > show in your file manager and make a note of where the folder is.

repository > show in your file manager

godot again

now you’re ready to open godot! once you have it open, select import existing project, and select the folder you took a note of in the last step.

before you do anything in godot, make sure you read the contribution guide in the project folder. there are important steps to take before you start making changes. (if you’re setting up for the test run, you may not see it yet–it hasn’t been uploaded at the time of writing.)

happy coding!
