# Quick Start

{% hint style="info" %}
G**ood to know:** Use the tools you prefer. I personally love Fork for my Git ~~bloatware~~ uses, and JetBrains Rider for my IDE. However, we do not discriminate, even, *if you're using VIM*.\

### Settings up for development

A quick web search will teach you how to do any of these steps

1. Fork the [SS3D repository](https://github.com/RE-SS3D/SS3D).
2. Find a task to work on.
3. Open a pull-request to the **develop** branch.

Pretty easy right?

### Software & Tools

* For the game engine, we are using [Unity](https://unity.com/).
* To network the game, we are using [Fish-Net: Networking Evolved](https://github.com/FirstGearGames/FishNet).
* We use [DOTween](http://dotween.demigiant.com/) for tweening purposes.
* We also use the [CS Framework](https://github.com/coimbrastudios/framework).

### Recommendations

* Read about [GitFlow](https://www.red-gate.com/simple-talk/devops/tools/getting-started-with-gitflow/).
* The book [Game Programming Patterns by Robert Nystrom](https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ss3d.gitbook.io/home/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
