Code_Poetry_03: A C++ repository from jbcon

Code && Poetry

Due Date : November 17

Goals:

Read
Create a Code Poem
Turning In

1. Read

On the Google drive Creative Code, it contains several 1-2 page writings by John Maeda, John Simon Jr., and Scott Snibbe.

Cosmicomics, by Italo Calvino, ask someone to pick a chapter, read that chapter. If instructions unclear, read Chapter 1 or lucid dream about the moon. Oulipo.

Steel Mind of the Software Artist, if you have time, read this one.

2. Create a Code Poem

Create a Code Poem in any progamming language: C, Python, LISP, Go, Pure Data, VRML, Java, etc. There are three requirements:

It must be "code"
It must be a "poem"
It must run, which implies that it may need to compile, further implying instructions may be necessary

3. Turning In

First is to make your own repository of your project and sync it to github.

Then, Clone this assignment directory to your computer. From within the folder of the clone, use the terminal.

Make a branch, replace your-branch-name with something unique, rcsid, etc.

git branch your-branch-name

Checkout your-branch-name so that we're working in that branch.

git checkout your-branch-name

Replace remote-url with something like https://github.com/shawnlawson/shawnmodule.git and linked-folder-name with your name shawnlawson

git submodule add remote-url linked-folder-name

Then you'll need to add and commit.

git commit -a -m 'adding submodule'

You'll need to push your branch to the remote.

git push origin your-branch-name

You may run up against a GIT 2.0 error. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13148066/warning-push-default-is-unset-its-implicit-value-is-changing-in-git-2-0

Do the simple solution

git config --global push.default simple

From the github web interface for this assignment's repository you'll create a new pull request.

Base will be master, compare will be your-branch-name

Create the request. You shouldn't accept your own pull request. Someone else, me or another person, should review the request to make sure none of the other files in the repository were modified before accepting. Sort of like a checks and balances system.
