While setting up Terasology from source is fairly easy due to the gradle-based build system handling most of the boring and complicated parts, it can be a little overwhelming for new contributors. A modder, texture artist, playtesting enthusiast, or other individual who hasn't done much - if any - coding before might get a lot out of seeing a basic video that covers installing the game from source and making some basic changes.

Definition of 'Done'

A single tutorial video (~10-15 minutes) or a playlist of several short videos (~1 minute each) is recorded and submitted, containing a tutorial showcasing the following:

• Creating a GitHub account and forking the project.
• Cloning the game to your desktop from the fork using git clone.
• Configuring a remote for the fork.
• Fetching several custom modules or creating a new one.
• Running the gradlew idea task and launching the game using IntelliJ IDEA.
• Running the game via command line and IntelliJ.
• Making a simple change to the engine code and pushing it to the GitHub fork, then creating a pull request with the changes.

Where to start?

• Most of the information the tutorial should cover can be found in the Development Setup tutorial and associated wiki articles.
• OBS Studio is a great (and open-source!) video recording program, but feel free to use whatever software suits you best!
