Open the new directory (./WhitestormJS/ by default) using whatever terminal emulator you'd like.

You can build WhitestormJS with the following command: gulp build

WhitestormJS will be built, and written to build/whitestorm.js, and build/whitestorm.min.js.

Commiting

All engine code is in src/ folder. *Do not edit files in build/ folder!!!

* Commit names.

Codes.

• WIP. - Work in progress.
• CSF. - Code style fix. (Comes with file name.)
• TU. - Temporary update. (Will be changed later.)
• README. - You changed README.md file.
• LICENSE. - You changed LICENSE.md file.
• CONTRIBUTING. - You changed CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Fixed Issue.

If your commit fixes issue on github, you must add Fixed #25. Where #25 is ID of your issue.

Syntax.

• Code - Can be WIP., CSF. or TU. (If your commit matches one of them.)
• Comment - Your comment to commit. (If you want or you have no code.)
• Fix - Example: Fixed #25. (If you fixed an issue or your commit made some task from issue.)

After code/comment must always be a dot and they must start with big letter.

If you have CSF. your comment must be a name of file you fixed. No dot after filename

Examples.

• WIP. Files updated.
• CSF. ShaderTerrain.js Fixed #25
• WIP.
• TU. Fixed #3

Poor:

• Fixed #25
• Fixed code style. (Use "CSF.")
• WIPSHADEERTERRAINJSFIXES####2016!!!!
• WIP shader (No dot after WIP, comment starts with small letter.)

* Code style guidelines:

• Follow code style guides:
  • Mr.doob
  • Google
• Each line of code should not be longer than 80 symbols
• https://www.codacy.com/app/siteprogcom/WhitestormJS/dashboard
• After you fixed one file:
  • Write CSF. {filenamehere} to current version in CHANGELOG.md file.
  • Commit with msg CSF. {filenamhere} #25 or just CSF.
