To work collaboratively on this project, you will need the Git source control software installed. On Windows, you can also use the graphical tool Git Extensions to simplify working with Git.

At the very least you will need the Arduino Software installed. I recommend using Eclipse (the C++ variant), and the Arduino Eclipse plugin (which requires the Arduino Software as well) to avoid going insane while writing code, because IDEs are important tools, and the Arduino Software on its own is a terrible IDE.

1. Follow the instructions on the Arduino Eclipse "how-to" page: particularly the sections Install V2 plugin and Configure

1. Download [FastLED 3.0.3][https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/archive/3.0.3.zip].
2. Rename the downloaded .zip file to "FastLED.zip" (the Arduino software will hiccup otherwise)
3. Start the Arduino Software
4. From the menu bar, choose Sketch > Import Library > Add Library...
5. Locate the .zip file you downloaded
6. Verify that FastLED was imported by choosing Sketch > Import Library and inspecting the bottom of the menu (there should be a FastLED entry)

1. Clone the git repository into a directory. This can be done via the command line by typing git clone https://github.com/tullo-x86/kaiju2014.git kfc2014 (This will create a folder called kfc2014 in your working directory)
2. Open the kaiju_2014.ino file inside the kfc2014/kaiju_2014 directory.
3. Try not to let editing code inside a pure text editor kill your paassion for coding.

1. Clone the git repository into a directory. This can be done via the command line by typing git clone https://github.com/tullo-x86/kaiju2014.git kfc2014 (This will create a folder called kfc2014 in your working directory)
2. In Eclipse, choose File > Import from the menu bar
3. Choose Existing projects into Workspace and click Next
4. Make sure Select root directory is selected, click Browse..., and navigate to the kfc2014 directory that git created for you
5. Verify that the project is listed and checked (you should see kaiju-2014), and click Finish
6. Once that closes, verify that it builds by selecting Project > Build All from the menu bar
7. Use the Arduino-like buttons in the toolbar to upload the program to your board.
