Setting up your code environment

Make your own GitHub fork of this repository by clicking on this link.
Copy the HTTPS clone link from your fork. It should look like https://github.com/[YOUR_USERNAME]/[YOUR_REPOSITORY_NAME].git. You can find it in the top right of the GitHub repository under the dropdown menu when you click on the big green "Code" button.
Clone your fork locally using Git.
- Install Git if you haven't already.
- Open a folder on your computer where you wish to clone this. Ensure that this folder is NOT "backed up" to any cloud service (especially OneDrive if you're on Windows 11), as this tends to break Git.
- Right click inside the folder and select "open terminal here".
- Within your terminal, type git clone [HTTPS clone link], replacing "[HTTPS clone link]" with the link you copied earlier.
Open your cloned folder with a code editor of your choice.

We recommend a proper IDE (Integrated Developer Environment), such as Visual Studio Code, or the open source version, VSCodium - basic text editors such as Notepad++ are discouraged.

After you've done everything, please proceed to Setting up a game instance.
