1. Getting Started

Getting Started

Where do I start?

If you haven't yet, we highly recommend reading chapter 0. Introduction.

You may also want to spend 5 minutes reading 0.a. Detailed Project Architecture, unless you are confident you won't waste 5 hours getting lost in it.

Which script should I read through first?

1. Familiarize yourself with the main.gd script to understand how the game initializes.

Cool, and then?

Explore the TacticsLevel class to see how the map & combat flows are managed.

• TacticsArena is in charge of loading and initializing the map and its tiles. Look here to understand grid and pathfinding mechanics.
• TacticsParticipant is where the bulk of the combat turn logic lives.
• Check TacticsPawn to see how individual units are implemented.

If you ever feel lost during this step, please refer to chapter 0.a. Detailed Project Architecture
