# Panel Attack Development
## Development Setup
### Installing love
The current stable version uses love 11.5. Simply install from http://love2d.org/.
The beta version is the main development version and uses love 12.0.
Love 12 is still in development. You can find love 12.0 CI builds in the [love repository](https://github.com/love2d/love/actions/workflows/main.yml).
Simply pick the newest workflow run, scroll down and select the artifact suitable for your machine.
### Setting up the Panel Attack repository
Clone a copy of the repository
```
git clone https://github.com/panel-attack/panel-attack.git
```
We recommend using [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com) as it manages login for you and makes working with git easier.
We recommend developing and running the game using [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
You can setup VSCode with a debugger and more [following this tutorial](https://sheepolution.com/learn/book/bonus/vscode).
Alternatively, you can edit with your own favorite text editor and run love from the command line
```
cd Panel-Attack
love ./
```
or via drag and drop with the repository folder (not recommended).

## Release schedule

#### canary release
Cutting edge build, automatically generated with every push to beta.

#### beta release
beta release, a bit more tested than canary.
Features are released on beta if there is some confidence that they're mostly working correctly.

# For Maintainers
## Releasing
To make a release we create a love file and put it on the server. Change the name of the love file to the output of a command like this:
Stable:
`echo "panel-$(date -u "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").love"`
Beta:
`echo "panel-beta-$(date -u "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").love"`
Secure copy the file to the server in correct folder on the server.
Stable:
`scp -i privatekey.pem panel-2022-06-25_03-50-14.love [email protected]:updates`
Beta:
`scp -i privatekey.pem panel-2022-06-25_03-50-14.love [email protected]:beta-updates`
Test that the game updates properly.
Post release notes in #panel-attack-updates on the discord.
