= Developers guide for StupidZombie THIS APPLICATION IS NOT LONGER BEING MANTAINED! == Collaboration through OpenSource Blockhead needs your help. He is after all a stupid zombie. You can contribute to StupidZombie in a number of ways: * by sending us an email to give us feedback * roll up your sleeves and help us with coding * if you find the SZprogram has helped you donate some money's to help support the costs associated with development and support * Even just spreading the word about StupidZombie can go a long way to helping Blockhead (banners will be coming soon). * Send an email to blockhead@stupidzombie.com == Requirements to compile the code You will need Java SDK 6 or better and Ant 1.7.0 to compile this software. == Getting involved === Download the source code [https://kenai.com/svn/stupidzombie~source-code-repository ] <pre language="Bash"> mkdir stupidzombie && \ cd stupidzombie && \ svn co https://kenai.com/svn/stupidzombie~source-code-repository </pre> ==== How code is organized? <pre> trunk/ping/desktop </pre> ==== How to compile: Go to the desired Branch or Trunk where the build.xml exists. Then create the JAR: <pre language="Bash"> ant </pre> === Run the program and get to know the Zombie! Run the program like this and play with it to become more familiar: <pre lang="Bash"> java -jar StupidZombie.jar </pre> === How the code works? ==== Adding new pingers ===== XML-RPC ====== Debugging You can use this great online debugger to see how the blog directory behaves: [http://gggeek.raprap.it/debugger/] === Style guide ==== Color utilization ===== Specific settings All are websafe colors listed in their hexadecimal code - I did use quite a bit gradients but they based off of these: * Stupid - 6699FF (color for stupid only in the body of text on the pages) - otherwise it is B0D0FF (official spot color) - use this one first * Zombie - 8CC83F (color for stupid only in the body of text on the pages) - otherwise it is D1F039 (official spot color)-use this one first * Purple header text: E99FFF (as seen in Contribute, OpenSource, etc.) - the big purple text with a black stroke '''Colors I used for the basis of gradients come from Blockhead:''' * The purple uniform is - 98549D * The green skin is - 8CC63F * The yellow/gold trim on his uniform is - FFFF66 * The background blue is base color is 75CDFF * All the black is - 000000 * All the white is - FFFFFF ===== Suggestions for new elements * Text - all text should be black, unless they are a link then they should be blue for unvisited and purple for visited * All buttons - for right now should be white - until I can get the newly designed ones * Exception to the above - leave the menu filter buttons the purple and yellow text for now ( blog name, directory, etc.) * Make the backgrounds where the main body of text information white. This looks a lot more balanced ties into the SZ site, and will have a uniqueness because of the heavy use of green. == What if I have other questions? The developers forum is a great place to exchange ideas and ask questions. Feel free to participate at: [http://kenai.com/projects/stupidzombie/forums/developers]
