How to Commit:

• Place all source files in the source/ dir

• In general, keep functions pertaining to different effects in different files

• Name variables descriptively. If a variable pertains to a common physics term or symbol, place that symbol in a nearby comment

• Comment functions explaining the math in use

• Add any new effect into this README

General Git Etiquette:

• DO NOT commit executables (.out files by default)

• DO NOT make dated folders in any directory except output/

• In general, avoid committing output files - the output directory is a compromise between programming convention and needs of professors and students in class. Remember - you can always store your outputs in the Google Drive or on iGroups.

• That said, DO NOT commit output files unless:

  • You have a good reason to track the output (IE, showing new functionality)

  • You have placed the output in a dated directory within the output/ dir
