Getting Started

Begin a new project

Create an Igis shell project within your "project" directory.

cd ~/projects
git clone https://github.com/TangoGolfDigital/IgisShell IgisShell-LSystems

Enter into the Sources directory of the new project.

cd IgisShell-LSystems/Sources/IgisShell/

Build the project. (This may take some time.)

swift build

Run the project.

swift run

Open a browser (or use a new tab on an already-open browser). Go to the URL: http://www.codermerlin.com/users/user-name/dyn/index.html

NOTE: You MUST change user-name to your actual user name. For example, http://www.codermerlin.com/users/john-williams/dyn/index.html

You'll know your successful if you see the title bar change to "Coder Merlin: IGIS". (The browser window will be blank because we haven't added any graphics yet.)

Helpful hint: It's useful to bookmark this page in your browser.

First Steps

Add your LSystem file from your previous project to your current project.

Warning: Be careful to rename this file during the copy operation so that you don't overwrite the current main.swift.

Assuming that your previous project is in the directory ~/Merlin/2512 CS-II Lindenmayer Systems/100 Lindenmayer/C100 LSystem-Swift:

cp "~/Merlin/2512 CS-II Lindenmayer Systems/100 Lindenmayer/C100 LSystem-Swift/main.swift" LSystem.swift
