Getting Started¶
25 Febuary 2018, 04:47 GMT
Welcome to the Official Qub3d Getting Started Guide!
This file is dedicated to getting started in general with the Qub3d Engine Group.
The simplest way to get started with Qub3d is to join the official Discord Server. We also have an official IRC channel on freenode: #qub3d. If you have any issues that just don’t quite fit inside Discord or IRC, don’t fret! We have an official email address: yo@qub3d.org where you can send questions that don’t contain spam/inappropriate/irrelevant content. This email is only used for questions regarding the Qub3d Engine Group.
There are other guides/howtos that go beyond this guide in some fields, such as the Contributors’ Guide and the Documentation Howto. This guide is just to help you get ready for getting our hands dirty with the Qub3d repositories.
The aim of this guide is to familiarize new users to the Qub3d Engine Group and its tools. In this guide, we give a brief introduction on each tool used in the Qub3d project, and the Qub3d Engine Group and all of its participating members. If you appreciate this project enough to contribute, then please read the Contributors’ Guide.
