Challenge Overview
The PxScene Showcase app will be an app that runs in pxscene (pxscene.org) that displays a functioning UI for browsing videos. It will be used by the client to show off the capabilities of pxscene on embedded devices.
This challenge will update the existing app with a completely new UI that the client has asked us to work on, based on an existing UI they have for other products.
Target environment
We are targeting pxscene for this challenge. Note that pxscene applications are implemented in Javascript but use custom APIs for drawing and animations. You are expected to investigate the documentation for pxscene and implement things according to pxscene best-practices.
http://www.pxscene.org/docs/apis/index.html
https://github.com/pxscene/pxscene
Further examples can be found here:
https://github.com/pxscene/pxscene/tree/gh-pages/examples/px-reference
* https://gitlab.com/hercules-pxscene-showcase/showcase-app/issues/35
Styling and general Javascript should be as clean as possible, with little to no redundancy (DRY). For instance, if each screen is a different JS file, don't copy / paste style details or redundant methods to each file.
Make sure your submission includes:
* An updated, deployable project that includes the required changes, via a git patch
* Deployment documentation, including how to deploy to Heroku
* Validation documentation for loading the project in pxscene from Heroku
