For this first lab, you can download the initial project scaffold from this folder.
Future labs will be distributed in a similar way and will files to add to this initial scaffold.
## Part 1: Your first Amy programs
Write two example Amy programs each make sure that they typecheck (see [Type check examples](#type-check-examples)). Put them under `/examples`. Please be creative when writing your programs: they should be nontrivial and not reproduce the functionality of the examples in the `/library` and `/examples` directories of the repository. Of course you are welcome to browse these directories for inspiration.

## Step 0: Find a group
All work in this year's edition of CS-320 will be done in groups of two or three students.
If you are looking for teammates, please consider using the course's [Moodle](https://moodle.epfl.ch/course/view.php?id=4241) forums.
You should submit the names and EPFL e-mail addresses of all teammates through [this form](https://forms.gle/v1gHDFdPZyv8LwzB6). Note that you need access the form with EPFL e-mail account.
## Step 1: Version control
Since you will be working with others throughout the course, we provide all labs via Git repositories.
Once you have registered as a group, you will be assigned a repository on [EPFL's GitLab](https://gitlab.epfl.ch/).
For every new lab we are going to push the starter code ("skeleton") on a separate branch of that repository.
Since all labs starting from the second are cumulative, you should ideally merge your work resulting from the preceding, completed lab into the starter code of the new lab.
Once the deadline for a lab comes around, we will simply consider your most recent commit on the respective branch as your submission.
## Step 2: Java / Scala / SBT
We will be using Scala 3 to implement our compiler project.
Please make sure your system is running at least Java 8 and has [SBT](http://www.scala-sbt.org/)(the default build tool for Scala) installed.
## Step 3: Working on the labs
Once you have formed a group and installed SBT, you are ready to start the labs. The workflow for each assignment is roughly as follows:
* Check out the branch of the current lab from your repository. Merge with your work from prior labs (when starting work on lab 3, 4 or 5).
* Run ''compile'' from inside SBT to make sure your build still succeeds. If you run ''test'' at this point it should fail on some of the new tests provided by us.
* Implement the assignment according to the specification. Throughout the semester we will be providing you with details on each specific assignment.
