It's a coding club using the raylib programming library. Every coding session, members of the club have to solve in streaming some proposed coding challenges with raylib. They must follow the rules of raylib CODE CLUB
.
raylib is open to any raylib user that wants to participate, coding a proposed challenge in streaming in front of an audience and following the rules. Everyone can join the raylib CODE CLUB
just asking for the @raylib-cc-member
role on raylib Discord #raylib-code-club
channel. Before joining, be aware of rule #8.
Coding session are done in raylib Discord, in a specific #raylib-code-club-ring
voice challenge. Participants with the @raylib-cc-member
role will be given a raylib coding challenge and they have to try to code it live in streaming, following the raylib CODE CLUB
rules.
Coding challenges are faced individiually and streamed in Discord in a live coding session, sharing the screen in front of an audience trying to solve the proposed raylib challenge.
In raylib Discord. In the private #raylib-code-club-ring
voice channel.
Coding sessions are announced in raylib Discord as Events
.
No, the #raylib-code-club-ring
channel is private, only visible to @raylib-cc-member
, @raylib-cc-audience
and @Sponsor
roles. But any raylib Discord user can request the @raylib-cc-member
if willing to participate in the next session or @raylib-cc-audience
is willing to watch the coding session.
Yes, as stated in rule #8, new members must code on their first session. If a member does not participate the @raylib-cc-member
role will be removed. The user could ask again for the role for next session.
Users with the @raylib-cc-audience
role can decide to attend the session or not, no penalty.
Maybe, but every member participating must start coding the proposed challenge from scratch, the approach to the challenge and the coding style could be completely different.
raylib Discord users with @raylib-cc-audience
role can watch the code session and write in the chat area but they are not allowed to voice talk.
Session finishes when compilation fails or the challenge is successfully accomplished.
The challenge(s) to solve are announced when the first code session starts.
No, challenges are defined at the start of the coding session. In case one challenge is completed, a new challenge could be proposed.
Not a requirement but highly recommended. The audience will thank you.
Yes, no restrictions on the IDE to do the coding but there are some limitations on the features provided by the IDE.
It depends the kind of feedback, rule #6 states that no code helpers are allowed in the coding session. Variables and functions name intellisense help is allowed but automatic code errors detection and feedback is not allowed. Make sure to disable those options before the session starts or session will be ended.
No, you can choose the language and IDE you feel more confortable with but it must be raylib and it must support the required functionality for the challenge.
Yes, no language restrictions but the binding used must provide the required functions for the task.
If some error message is detected, that means code has been compiled or some IDE helper mechanism is active, in that case session is over.
You can have the cheatsheet and the header open but you cannot copy code from other people or examples.
A minimal intellisense mechanism is allowed for code completion but automatic errors detection mechanisms are not allowed. IDE should not warn the user about a missing semicolon, or a mispelled variable.
Yes, a basic template is provided to start coding, actually it's the core_basic_window
code.
Yes, the proposed challenge is active for the full event until someone accomplishes it.
No, if the program compiles and runs, the session can continue.
No, if the program compiles and runs, the session can continue.
Yes, if the program crashes at runtime, the coding session is over.
Yes, the compilation process configuration is up to the user.
Yes, the challenge is focused on logic, the graphics or shapes measures are up to the coder but all the challenges can be solved using the basic shapes provided by raylib.
If some specific graphics were required in more advance challenge, they will be provided.
By default, provided template defines a zlib/libpng license, users are free to change it but it must be a permissive open source license.
