The week we learned about Git and how to utilize source control. Some good points about git is that it allows users to create save points in their code. When developing a new feature the programmer can make use of branches to create new code while still being able to reset to a previous state if something goes wrong with adding the feature. I think this is incredibly useful especially when dealing with large programs because it allows programmers to work on small pieces of the code without modifying the existing code base. With online websites such as Github, programmers can collaborate and work on code simultaneously. This does present a challenge though if both programmers make modifications to the same lines of code. This will cause a conflict and require a code review to determine how to resolve the conflict. Overall I think tools such as git and Github are incredibly useful for programmers to collaborate on software projects.
Part One: Supporting and Commenting on Teammate's Goals I visited the following teammate's blogs and commented on their goals. Juan's Blog Vance's Blog Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas The three ideas I have for my capstone project are two different mobile apps and one indie game. For the two apps I am thinking of creating something in Swift, the programming language of iOS. The first app is a passion project that involves a list builder for a miniature tabletop game called OnePageRules. It is an independent miniature game ruleset and already has a web version. My app would take that template and adapt it for iOS. The second app would be a simple star wars app that utilizes an online API for Star Wars call SWAPI. This API has a number of entries related to the Star Wars universe in JSON format. My app would connect to this online API, download specific pieces of data and display them in the app. The third idea would be to create a simple side scroller game. The game ...
