FBLA Game 2024

title very WIP

This is a game for FBLA's Video Game Challenge Presentation Event.

Installation

Prerequisites

Install Godot

1. Download Godot at https://godotengine.org/download/
2. Extract the .zip somewhere on your PC (ie: C:\Users\(Your Name)\Documents\Godot)

Install Git

1. Download Git at https://git-scm.com/download/win
2. Run the .exe and go through the setup wizard
3. Open the terminal (on windows: press the windows key then type in "terminal")
4. Configure your username and email with the following commands:

git config --global user.name "your name"

git config --global user.email [email protected]

Setup a PAT

1. In Github, click on your account icon and click on settings.
2. Scroll down to Developer Settings and click on it.
3. Go to Personal access tokens -> Fine-grained tokens
4. Click "Generate new token"
5. Name your token and set the expiration date
6. Under "Repository access" select "Only select repositories", then select "fbla-game-2024" (if i've given you push access. If it isn't an option, fork the repo)
7. Under "Repository Permissions" set "Contents" to "Read and Write"
8. Click "Generate Token"
9. Copy the token to somewhere safe

Project Setup

1. Reopen the terminal (assuming you closed it)
2. Go to the directory where you want to setup your project, using the cd command (ie: cd Documents/godot/projects)
3. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/bf-bonkus/fbla-game-2024.git

4. Open Godot and press Import
5. Go to where you downloaded the project and double click on project.godot
6. Press Import & Edit

Godot-Git Setup

1. In Godot, go to Project -> Version Control -> Version Control Settings
2. In the "username" field, paste in your git username
3. In the "password" field, paste in your PAT (You have to do this step every time you start Godot, for safety reasons)
4. Enable "Connect to VCS"
5. Click apply
6. Widen the "Inspector" tab until "Commit" is visible
7. At this point, everything should work. I'd recommend using the pull button (should look like a downwards arrow) to double-check
8. If you can't press the button, errors pop up, or if the bottom doesn't have something that says "origin":
9. Click the three dots at the very bottom right and select "Create new Remote"
10. Name it something like origin and set the remote url to https://github.com/bf-bonkus/fbla-game-2024.git
11. Reboot Godot
12. If it still doesn't work, contact me.
