Inspiration
It's boring just to code and code all day. We wanted to make it more interactive and motivating for the developers.
What it does
When you build a project on the IntelliJ platform via gitHub, you can have several facts about the project at the side (like amount of commits, longest commit message, ...). We also included a system that enables giving lottery tokens to a developer based on a certain policy. These tokens can be used to award the developers with giveaways or something else that should motivate the developers to write usefull commit messages, commit often enough (so the progress isn't lost when a computer breaks) and many other possibilities.
How I built it
In Intellij via the IntelliJ Platform Plugin Kit in Gradle
Challenges I ran into
Learning how to use Gradle, making it work on all our computers
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The use of several Lambda expressions :)
What I learned
Writing plugins is quite easy once you understood the basics. And it's fun.
What's next for DevBattle
Add more features for archivements and update the design
