While C3 does support javascript, the implementation is fairly new and was not available when the project was started. Instead, the project uses the event block workflow. These are saved as JSONs. Because it’s a bit unreadable, I recommend Github Desktop to compare changes.

Collaborating on C3 projects is a bit iffy. In general, you should always try to avoid working on the same layout as someone else. Event sheets are a bit more doable but probably ill advised to make major changes. Otherwise, we should be able to follow the standard git workflow. However, rather than individual commits, you will want to save the whole project as a folder, then push that to your own git branch. In the meantime, you can use cloud storage if desired. If you are working on an individual feature you need to test in a layout, please create your own layout under Layouts > Resource > Shared so we don’t overlap.

The project may have some plugins but they should be bundled with the project folder. If not, they should be in _PLUGINS. Additionally, the vanilla theme is clunky so I recommend using PROCSS which is also included in the git repo.

You should have access to the following resources, if not please lemme know:

  1. Git Repo
  2. Toggle
  3. Notion

Time Tracking:

In the event that this game does release and actually makes money, I want to pay recoupment for any help, so please track your hours on the project in toggl. This will come out of profits before I get paid, after other project expenses have been paid of at a rate of $20-30/hr.
