Welcome, everyone, to another sprint. As we push forward in our project, the challenges we conquer as a team, absolutely amaze me.  With that being said, lets get started :).

Does anyone have any comments, questions, or concerns about the agenda they are assigned too?  If you need your agenda defined better or you're not sure where to start, please post on the kanban discussion any questions and we can start figuring it out as a team.

@James, I pressed serveral times on the accept button, seems like it didn't work.

I want to join this sprint if possible

I am not sure where to go to accept. I looked around but seem to be slow at this. :).

@Johannes & Matthew I will get an agenda set for you to join in.

When this sprint is over look at the console screen or menu and it should be in red.  Once you click this it takes you to a screen of all agenda for your role that is on the sprint.  If none show up to accept since you are the lead of your role you can set them by going to the objective screen and editing an agenda to be put on the sprint.  You should also allow for one agenda per member on the the team in your role as you see fit to do that week.

I normally don't start putting agenda in until we are about to start because I want to give all the leads a chance to add any agenda they want to lead their group.

When this sprint is over I will adjust the documentation on joining sprints.

Thanks,

@Anthony Do you think we are at a point now where we could expand the terrain and try to start placing asset on the terrain?  I figure if we could do that then Dren could start on a camera controls to pan around the terrain.

Thanks,
James Fleming

@James

Anything is possible for that terrain.we can expand it. We can draw models to it. We can re texture it. Whatever we want to do.

The terrain currently was an example. I had two objects appearing scene randomly but what I got stuck on was the physics in Xenko. I wasn't able to successfully get each object to draw a raycast and snap to the scene so the appear a over or below the terrain. Just to leave a note of where I left off.

@James,

did you already upload the current version? And what would be my next steps?

@Anthony Ok thank you for letting me know.  I was thinking of maybe making the terrain bigger and getting the camera to work right at this point so we can pan, zoom, and move without going under or outside of the terrain borders.

@Johannes I know you had VS2015 installed, so the next step is did you get the email invite to visual studio 2015 team foundation server online source control email that grants you access to the source code so you can download the latest code repository?

Thanks,
James Fleming

@James, would it be possible for me to get `permission to create` extra branch out of my own branch `whiskey`?

The remote server (thoucurator.visualstudio.com) won't allow me to create an extra branch.

I actually wanted to branch out of `whiskey` only on my local machine just to test after the engine upgrade, but VS(visual studio) won't let me do, at least I couldn't find a way to do it. =)

@Dren

Navigate to your local folder where the source is stored and copy the folder to another location. That way you'll have a direct back up.

Or if you do mess it up you can just re pull the latest.

@Dren I would agree with Anthony I do that too just to test stuff so we don't have a bunch of odd branches going on per user.

Thanks,
James Fleming

Roger that.

@James, @Anthony

I've made quite a progress on `upgrading the game` though xenko seem to introduce quite some breaking changes, I've cleaned up all the errors, but the game now seems to be failing on run-time, I'll try my best to finish before the deadline today, but I'm not quite sure if it will be done. ;(

If not, hopefully we can extend it to the next sprint and finish it for sure.

Thanks for understanding. =)

@Dren

Just make sure you upload your branch to tfs when you're done. Then after the sprint, if it's still having issues, I can take a look and see where there may be an error when the sprint ends.

@Anthony Sure.

Should I push even if it fails on run-time(meaning non-working changes), then we'd iterate from that point?

@Dren

Being that the changes are just in whiskey branch the rest of the application won't be broken. And I can always roll changes made if need be

Yep, only on my branch, I wouldn't want to push non-working code to master branch. =)

@Anthony, I'm actually pushing to the master branch, I for some reason can't merge master into my branch and continue working from there.

I guess that's OK with you, since we can always roll back to the previous commit.

BTW: I'm used to working with git on command line. =)

What would be the equivalent to:
git checkout my_branch
git merge origin master_branch

on visual studio.

Thanks. 

@Anthony actually I can't push my changes:

Solved it.
