Sharpen your pencils, we're getting creative!
Hello and welcome to Animation Nation, a ZTM project for Hacktoberfest! This site aims to showcase the creative talents of the ZTM community :)
The rules are simple. You have to:
- Use HTML
<divs>
and CSS only! No JS, and no SVGs! - Have at least one animation in your work
- Please make sure that the code is indeed your own, and not copied from someone else
- That's it!
If you've never forked a repository or made a pull request before, we recommend making your first one over at https://github.com/zero-to-mastery/start-here-guidelines. That will count towards your total, and then you'll be ready to take on this challenge with your new GitHub skills!
A cool resource to learn about the forking workflow can also be found here - https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/forking-workflow
Now, once you've forked this repo and got a local version up on your computer, follow these steps:
-
File and folder naming should only contained letters, digits, hyphen (
-
) and/or underscore (_
) - no spaces and prefer lowercase -
In the
Art/
directory (folder), create a directory named after your GitHub username. -
Within this folder you just made, create 2 files, an HTML file, and a CSS file.
-
Link your CSS file to your HTML file.
-
Using only HTML and CSS (no
<script>
allowed!!), create a work of art!
It can be as simple or as complex as you like, as long as it's animated in some way! -
Get a screen recording of your finished work, and make a gif!
Try to crop it so that it looks good as a smallish (preferably squarish) image. - squarish capture - no browser frame captured Note: Static screenshots are also acceptable if you do not succeed in getting agif
file. Save this in your directory, together with your HTML and CSS files.If you don't add a gif/screenshot, the website won't show your
animation and the pull request will not be accepted. -
Go to the root
include.js
. You will see an array of objects,
each one representing a work of art that someone has created.
Copy an example object and paste it at the end, filling it out
with your art information and links:
let cards = [
// Add your card in this section
{
artName: 'Triangle', // change this to the name of your artwork
pageLink: './Art/<YOUR GITHUB USERNAME>/triangle.html', // change this
imageLink: './Art/<YOUR GITHUB USERNAME>/triangle.gif', // change this
author: 'Joy', // use your name
githubLink: 'https://github.com/<YOUR GITHUB USERNAME>' // change this
}
];
For those of you who want to contribute more than once, you could handle multiple contributions as described
Still in the Art/
folder/directory:
- Find your prior folder ( named after your user name as described above )
- If needed - Adjust your folder organization so you have a folder for each contribution.
- Each contribution should have its own folder/directory named after your animation
Example of your contributions folders organizations visualization:
Note: <xxx> are placeholder to refer to your file/folder,
those are not real file/folder named <xxx>
|__Art/
|__/<github-user-name>/
|__<animation-one-name>/
|___ <html-file>
|___ <css-file>
|___ <gif-file>
|__<animation-two-name>/
|___ <html-file>
|___ <css-file>
|___ <gif-file>
- Update accordingly the
include.js
file
- find your previous contribution and adjust the necessary path if needed
- add your current contribution accordingly to the paths of your folder :)
If a maintainer asks for changes, please make the required changes to your original pull request.
Closing a PR and re-opening the PR for the same contribution adds an unnecessary burden on maintainers,
as they have to review the complete pull request again.
If you don't follow this rule, maintainers reserve the right to mark your pull request as invalid.
In this case it won't count for Hacktoberfest.
