Development

Install locally

The Shattered Machine using two main libraries for glitching :

• pnglitch
• rusty engine

The rusty engine is written in rust and a compiled version for Windows, Mac os and Linux is already included in the gem. To install the needed dependencies you need to install the Ruby language and Bundler.

Then run bundle install to fetch the needed gems.

Create new version

• Fill the CHANGELOG with the changes contained in the new version
• Ensure the specs are green
• Change the versions in lib/shattered_machine.rb and shattered_machine.gemspec
• Create git tag
• Compile the gem : gem build shattered_machine.gemspec
• Push the new version : gem push shattered_machine-x.x.x.gem

Specs

This project uses Rspec for writing specs, to run them simply run bundle rspec
