Other:

• For all of us, this was our first hackathon.
• As we decided to use Java for this project so we used its naming conventions.

Java Conventions:

• Classes: UpperCamelCase (Ex: ImageSprite)
• Methods: lowerCamelCase (Ex: runProcess())
• Variables: lowerCamelCase (Ex: myVar)

Branches:

• Everyone has their own branches
• Branches are limited in scope and should be pulled/merged quickly to the main
• Naming convention for branches: "developer_name"-"feature" Ex: yarik-fridge
