albuquerque game dev guild

We are building a website: (Instead of a grandiose crazy thing, a thing we can digest, that may later grow)

All it needs to have...

add a AGDG member profile, a member has:

a name
a short description
a photo (or maybe some sort of avatar)
a website
games they are part of
"classes" (artist, dev, music, video, marketing, etc.)

add a game, a game has:

a name
a short description
a screenshot (of a particular size)
a website
a video (optional)
links to members
progress through achievements
progress bar

add Achievements:

art, concept
art, completed
concept, narrative
concept, mechanics
concept, prototype
game, alpha done
game, beta done
game, playable
game, balance
marketing, website
marketing, video
music/sound effects

other Ideas:

avatar generation

retro/pixel style
custom faces / hair / clothing accessories
avatar's have classes
avatar's have levels, experience (the more games someone works in, the more achievements they get)

fake money

people (in guild and outside of guild) get coins/gems/things
they can assign to game projects as a form of voting for the things they want to see completed
possibly game devs can also put up polls that people can then vote with their fake money things in to help direct the game development (vote for levels, character classes in games, additional content packs,...)

How to do dev stuff on your own machine

So, you want to contribute to development? Right on. To get started, check out the wagtail docs on how to install wagtail on your box.

http://docs.wagtail.io/en/latest/getting_started/installation.html

Heads up, you'll want to install all this stuff on a virtual machine or a vagrant box, ideally one running Ubuntu 14.04 if you want something to similar to the production environment

Once you've got everything set up, just cd into the project root and clone this repo. Once you're in, go into settings/base.py and look for the following bit of code...

# Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  'django.contrib.admin',
  'django.contrib.auth',
  'django.contrib.contenttypes',
  'django.contrib.sessions',
  'django.contrib.messages',
  'django.contrib.staticfiles',

  'compressor',
  'taggit',
  'modelcluster',

  'wagtail.wagtailcore',
  'wagtail.wagtailadmin',
  'wagtail.wagtaildocs',
  'wagtail.wagtailsnippets',
  'wagtail.wagtailusers',
  'wagtail.wagtailsites',
  'wagtail.wagtailimages',
  'wagtail.wagtailembeds',
  'wagtail.wagtailsearch',
  'wagtail.wagtailredirects',
  'wagtail.wagtailforms',

  'core',
)

You'll want to change core to agdg in the bottom of the INSTALLED_APPS tuple

You're almost there. Now cd into your project root and type python manage.py migrate to get everything set up

To see if everything works, go ahead and run python manage.py runserver and visit the site in your browser. If you don't see any error messages, then congrats
