Demo cooperation

Just a short question regarding demo creation involving a large group of people.

What kind of tools do you guys use for communication/discussion, screenshots, uploads etc.. ?

And what experiences do you have with it?

Best regards /Glasnost.

Whats wrong with

Newplotter.asm
NewFinalPlotter.asm
NewerFinalPlotter.asm
NewestFinalPlotter.asm
NewestFinalImprovedPlot.asm

?

not unlike:

$ git branch
* master
newplotter
newfinalplotter
newfinalplotter2
newfinalplotter3
fuckedplotter
truefinalplotter
rc1

;)

Burglar: Well, At least you have only one plotter.asm sourcefile in your source dir. Seems much more tidy to me :-)

plotter1.src
plotter2.src
plotter3.src

source control is nice, but its not like a demo part complexity stuff REALLY needs it. its for teams and big projects.

back when i coded stuff I simply numbered sources, saved after having done bigger changes. worked well.

Dropbox does some of that anyway, but for everything else there is copy of source.asm, copy 2 of source.asm and so on. =-)

(That's all i ever did with a native assembler too though, source files were just called sc001, sc002 and so on.)

Without source control i would not be able to figure out what i intended some years ago in some draft coding. Now i can look at the repo, say ahh , and then dig it out again. ;)

We use git (hosted at gitlab). Used bitbucket but there was a limit of free users available and gitlab does all we need and is free.
Hipchat as a chat/forum (full history, attachments and mobile apps).
Dropbox occasionally but attaching files in hipchat rooms prooves to be enough for most of the stuff.
Task management as text files inside part repos with sumblime text "todo" plugin.

It's not like you can't live without version control, but it has some nice features, even when you are doing things on your own. Especially with GIT or Hg where you don't have to be in contact with a central server:

* Coordination of multiple files (You might also have a stdlib.src file and a logo file that has to fit the used plotter.src file)
* Easy way to have a history log and see what changes was made in each version
* Easy to see what code came from which change (commit) in the final sourcefile
* Avoids a mess with alot of version files in the source directory
* Quick way to go back in versions (How much was gained by this optimization?)
