The Design Document - This is the main over-view design document for the game. It should give you a good insight to the game workings and big-picture.

Running the Game
For Windows Users: To run the game, you have one of two choices:
- Run the game by double clicking the pyrogenesis.exe file in the /binaries/system folder
- Build and run the program from within the Visual Studio IDE
To change the resolution of the game: or to switch the game between full-screen / windowed mode, you have to modify the system.cfg file, in the following manner:
- Change windowed=false to windowed=true
- Uncomment (remove the ';') from the following lines:
;xres = 1024 ;yres = 768
- You can change the numbers to whatever pixel size is desired. Note that 1024x768 or larger is recommended because that's the minimum size required by the GUI; you might otherwise run into layout or scaling issues
For more info on how to actually play the game see the Playing 0 A.D. guide

Reading Material
The topics under Guides on the main Wiki page is a good starting point, but here are some other things you should take a look at before developing:
Pyrogenesis Engine Program Flow - An excellent diagram showing you where the information flows and how the different parts communicate. Good to keep handy as a reminder (Can also be found in SVN in /trunks/docs/)
Tools
Trac - used to provide an interface for managing tasks, tickets and bugs, and of course this wiki
