Community Project

This repository is used for Janhektor's community project.
We are going to code a Minecraft PvP Plugin for Spigot.

Janhektor is a German youtuber making tutorials about programming, especially for Spigot and BungeeCord on his channel.
This repository is used to manage the code which is produced by Janhektor and the community.
The project was started on Beginning of July 2015 has the goal to code a HungerGames-Like Spigot-PvP-Plugin and is still not finished yet! - This means that you can help us (see below).

How does it work?

Maybe you don't believe that something like this project works. But it's simple:

Every public tutorial causes new code which will be pushed to this repo
If someone has an idea to improve or extend this plugin, it's possible to do that and create a pull request
Pull requests will be reviewed be one of the collaborators
If everything is well, the changes will be merged with this public code-base

Larger choices aren't decided by only one - we'll create a public available poll where everybody can vote. After voting we are going to analyse the result.

Coding Guidelines

Please keep in mind that we observe the [Google Code-Style Guidelines](http://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html). Additionally we are working with Java SE 8 / JDK 1.8. Therefore you'll need a Java compiler for language level 8 or higher to compile the source. However, there are some important exceptions / changes:

License notes are not required - all code is licensed under project license (MIT license)
@author tags are not allowed - enough attention to the authors is given in plugin.yml
Tabs are allowed for indentions; but only 1 Tab instead of 4 Spaces
It's allowed, but not required to declare interface methods with addtional public abstract
It's recommended to work without whitespaces in statements¹

¹ Style for statements, parameter-lists, ...

That means, you are allowed to do *anything* with the code as long as you *don't* remove the notice!
But note: You have to compile the project *yourself* to get the plugin JAR-File!
To compile the sourcecode, clone this repository or download all files (download ZIP) and let your Java compiler (e.g. javac) run. To run the compiled plugin you need a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version 8 or greater.
