Here is the revised git-game-v2. This is a final submission, assuming you don't have time to give us more feedback. If you want us to change anything else let @hkwan003 @jruel006 and I know what else to do. We changed the original git-game and added the stuff you wanted us to.

Looks great! I think you're ready to start publicizing it. I've given you the full extra credit of 130/100.

Awesome, we are going to announce it tomorrow on twitter, Facebook and reddit. We are also thinking of making a website for the organization. The site will also double as a tutorial for git for beginners. At least that's what @hgarc014 @jdixo001 @hkwan003 and I have been discussing. We will also add a badge to be earned at the end of the git-game-v2. Thank you for your help and guidance.

Here are the links for some of the announcements

There will be more announcements later but these are the ones for now! If you could like, share and upvote that would be great! Thank you!

Do you guys have any questions about how to launch? I doubt very many people will see your tweet or facebook page. The git subreddit was a good choice, but it's not very highly trafficked. Hacker News and /r/programming are the places that will send tens of thousands of people to your project. The key is getting a really nice post title.

If you haven't already, you should check out the previous /r/programming post and the hacker news discussion. When you submit your own projects to HN, you want to put the text Show HN: at the front of your title. This will get you quite a bit more traffic there. See the Show HN page for some examples.

We announced the game on the Hackathon Hackers FB group that has over 15,000 members. We got a little attention there. I just submitted a link to HN with the Show HN: tag like you recommended. I posted to the /r/programming subreddit as well. Here is the reddit link to support us! Please like, share, tag, upvote and all that good social media stuff. Thank you :+1:

Also if you have any more recommendations or advice you could give us, we would gladly welcome any input from you @mikeizbicki. We would also welcome any input or advice from other peers if you think you have a better strategy to gain a bigger following or any input in tweaking the git-game-v2 for the future.
