RE: Our Steem Monsters Game Jam Game!!

in #steemmonsters6 years ago

Thanks for the contribution, @jonny-clearwater. First of all it's very cool what you've created in such a short amount of time, huge props to everyone involved! I especially like the aesthetic and atmosphere of the game.

Since it wasn't really made clear from the game jam announcement that Utopian contributions should follow certain guidelines I won't be too nitpicky, but I would still like to point out a few things and give some tips/hints:

  • Without an open source licence the project technically isn't open source - you should add one to the repository.
  • It's normal to have some information and usage/installation instructions in the README of a project so that others know what the project is about and how they can run it locally, for example.
  • You should commit more often and try to summarise the changes in the message. Stuff like "Initial commit" or "1st Commit" doesn't give any indication of what was added in the commit. Examples for your game could be "Updates AI of X" or "Adds boss". I would recommend checking out this guide on how to write good commit messages.
  • Most of the comments in the code are commented out snippets of code and not things that actually improve the readability. It's better to leave those out and explain the more intricate parts of your code so other developers (or yourself in a few weeks, trust me, I've been there!) can understand what's going on.

You mentioned on Discord that contributing on Utopian is something your son might be interested in doing more often. If he has more stuff like this up his sleeves he should definitely do that! Something that might be useful to him is reading this guide that was written by one of our moderators on what we expect from development contributions and what we base our review on.

I look forward to seeing what else you guys come up with!
