== 1: Log in to Hackatime ==

[https://hackatime.hackclub.com hackatime.hackclub.com]

Sign in with your Hack Club Slack account.  
If you haven't created one yet, head to [https://shiba.hackclub.com shiba.hackclub.com] and enter your email address to get a link to the Slack.

----

== 2: Set up Hackatime ==

Follow the instructions on the site, then copy the command into whatever terminal program you use.  
The command will be different on Windows — make sure to pick the right one.

This will:  
* Set some environment variables  
* Tell Hackatime where to “phone home” when you’re working

----

== 3: Download Godot ==

[https://godotengine.org/download godotengine.org/download]

Download the '''Godot binary'''.  
* Make sure you get the '''regular version''' and not the .NET version (web exports for Shiba are not supported with .NET).  
* If you are on Linux and know what you are doing, check your distro’s package manager for any special builds.

----

== 4: Create a new Godot project ==

When setting up your project:  
* If you would like to run your game in the browser, choose the '''Compatible renderer'''.  

----

== 5: Install Godot Super WakaTime ==

* If prompted, click '''Go Online''' to search.  
* If you cannot find it, make sure you already created a project and are not searching from the project library page.  
* Download or access it here: [https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/3484 Godot Super WakaTime]  
* Ignore the warnings.  

----

== 6: Enable Godot Super WakaTime ==

You need to install '''Godot Super WakaTime''' for every project (this is a Godot limitation).  

After you are finished:  
* Check [https://hackatime.hackclub.com hackatime.hackclub.com] after a little while to ensure you are logging progress.  
* You can also try [https://wakatime.com/plugins WakaTime plugins] to log time spent editing your project in other programs.
