Home - TheShubham99/Terasology GitHub Wiki

Welcome to the Terasology Wiki!

This is a wiki for those interested in contributing to the development of the project.

It doesn't cover game content or how to play the game much, check out the docs on Playing (including hotkeys etc) and Modules for some of that.

Use the sidebar to arrive at the most central topics this wiki covers.

See What is Terasology for some more background information.

Contributing

Interested in getting involved with working on the game? Check the Intro links in the sidebar :-)

There is a Quick Start for those already familiar with the development.

How can you talk to others working on Terasology? See our chat system details for information on IRC and Discord. Consider making an account on the forums as well.

How do you know what to work on? There is a suggestions forum on the website where you can get some ideas. Also, take a look at the open issues on the main repository or module repositories. Issues tagged as good first issues are good starting points.

Why isn't _____ working? Try making a post in the support forum to get help for your specific issue. Or ask in chat if anybody is available.

We also apply for GSOC - Google Summer of Code and GCI - Google Code-In every year. So if you're a student and it is that time of the year maybe check it out!

Architecture

These pages offer more advanced insight into how specific features of the game are architected and why.

• Block Architecture - development overview of our Block system. (pending changes needed to make the game work in an applet again)
• Shape Architecture - defining 3D meshes via definitions in JSON!
• Block Shapes In Blender - more on shapes.
