Register for Greenfoot.org and Publish Your First Game

Today we will be signing up for accounts at Greenfoot: http://www.greenfoot.org/account/login

After you register, add your information and a profile picture.  If you ever need to go back to edit
your details, click on your username and then click on "Account Settings" next to your picture.

Next, open up your original game [well, your game based on Trick the Turtle].  Make sure that your classes are all commented with your name and the date or version number, and remember to give credit to Michael Kölling as the author of the original source code and to any other contributors (music, graphics, etc.).

Finally, click on the "Share" button at the top-right corner of your Greenfoot window.  This will take you to a window which will let you set your Scenario icon, the title, your web page (if you have a blog or deviantART page), and also some check boxes for things such as "Game" and "Publish Source Code" [which I would like you to do for this one].    You will also need to enter your Login and Password (for Greenfoot.org).

When finished, you will have a published Greenfoot application.  You will receive comments and feedback on this publication, so check back regularly.  If you decide to update your code later, you can update this published piece as well.
