This page will introduce you to the basic information on how to do everything from checking out the source, to building the game, to find tasks you can start with. Please also remember to check out the pages listed on the [http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/ main Wildfire Games wiki page] and the general [wiki:GettingStarted Getting Started guide] which has got a lot of useful information. Among the most important is to read the [wiki:Design_Document Design Document], especially if you want to work on game-play as well as the [http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/WikiStart#TechnicalDesignDocumentation Technical Design Document].
