Cookiecutter template for z80 aplication

Initially build for Amstrad CPC demomaking, but can be very easily adapted for any kind of Z80 projects by adapting cookicutter.json

The generated projects use a Docker container (https://github.com/cpcsdk/docker-amstrad-crossdev) in order to avoid a manual installation of all the dependencies.

Installation of cookie cutter

$ sudo pip install cookiecutter

Creation of a new project

$ cookiecutter gh:cpcsdk/cookiecutter-amstrad-crossdev
group_name [benediction]: 
project_name [killerdemo]: 
project_name_slug [killerdemo]: 
group_name_slug [benediction]: 
project_short_description [The killer demo for CPC]: 

Utilisation of the new project

$ cd killerdemo 		# The name of the created repository
$ ./bootstrap.sh 		# Launch the docker container

Once on the container instance:

$ make 

to build killerdemo.dsk.

Of course killerdemo has to be replaced by the name of your project.

Now it is up to you to add additional files and update the Dockerfile and the Makefile accoarding to your project.

Note for windows users

It is probably easier to launch cookiecutter from a container launched with bootstrap.sh...
