== How do I register? ==
== How to join the BGA developer team? ==
 
Please see this page: [[How to join BGA developer team?]]
 
== Great, I'm in! ... How should I start? ==
 
If you didn't already, check the presentations at the top of this page to get the basics.
 
Then, you should checkout the [[First steps with BGA Studio]] to make sure that runs fine.
 
After that, we strongly advise you to take one of these game creation tutorials:
* [[Tutorial reversi]] - an abstract strategy game played on an 8×8 uncheckered board for 2 players
* [[Tutorial gomoku]] - an abstract strategy game tic-tac-toe style for 2 players
* [[Tutorial hearts]] - a card game for 4 players


Registering is done by e-mail at '''studio(at)boardgamearena.com'''.
Then start editing files and see what happens! ;)


Please provide the following information:
Once you done with tutorials, you can start a real game (or join existing project)
* your player user name on BGA
* [[Create a game in BGA Studio: Complete Walkthrough]]
* your developer user name to be used on “BGA Studio” (for technical reasons, no space, number or special character);
* your real name;
* your e-mail address;
* your postal address.


We also drafted a quick [http://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/0/02/BGA_TC_Dev_en.pdf 'terms & conditions' document]. It's very light, so as to get to the fun part faster.
If you have any questions, please check out the '''[[Studio FAQ]]''' first, then if you didn't find the answer you were looking for, please post your question on the [http://forum.boardgamearena.com/viewforum.php?f=12 '''development forum'''].


To be valid, the registration e-mail must contain this document as an attachment, with the following sentence in the mail body: 'I agree with the terms & conditions for developers on BGA Studio joined as an attachment'.
== BGA Studio documentation ==


And of course, we also encourage you to tell us about which games you would love to develop on BGA!
=== BGA Studio Framework reference ===


== Ok, I registered, what do I get? ==
This part of the documentation focuses on the development framework itself: functions and methods available to build your game.


First, from time to time you will get by e-mail the names of some of the games we have an agreement to develop, so that you can tell us 'Hey, this game is great! I want to develop it!' (please keep these names confidential, or it would ruin our tradition to make players guess the name of the next game on the forum)
[[Studio file reference|File structure of a BGA game]]


<pre>NB: during the BETA pĥase, to smooth things up and make sure that everything is working correctly,
==== Game logic (Server side) ====
we will work only with 3 fearless developers on 3 simple games.</pre>


Second, once we have discussed together and are fixed on a game you'll take charge of, we'll create your studio account and you will get:
* [[Main game logic: yourgamename.game.php]]
* one login / password to access files through SFTP
* [[Your game state machine: states.inc.php]]
* ten logins with numeric suffixes from 0 to 9 and a common simple password to test games on the studio website while developing.
* [[Game database model: dbmodel.sql]]
* [[Players actions: yourgamename.action.php]]
* [[Game material description: material.inc.php]]
* [[Game statistics: stats.inc.php]]


Once logged in to your SFTP root folder, you will find:
==== Game interface (Client side) ====
* a 'resources.html' file with the URLs to use and some extra connection information
* three folders containing the three simple games provided as examples
* a folder for the game you will be developing initialized after our 'EmptyGame' template, providing the game structure (and comments! and examples!)


Then... that's all, you can start!
* [[Game interface logic: yourgamename.js]]
* [[Game art: img directory]]
* [[Game interface stylesheet: yourgamename.css]]
* [[Game layout: view and template: yourgamename.view.php and yourgamename_yourgamename.tpl]]
* [[Your game mobile version]]


== Great, I'm in! ... How should I start? ==
==== Other components ====


If you didn't already, check the presentations at the top of this page to get the basics.
* [[Translations]] (how to make your game translatable)
* [[Game options and preferences: gameoptions.inc.php]]
* [[Game meta-information: gameinfos.inc.php]]
* [[Game replay]]
* [[3D]]


After that, we would advise you to take a peek at one or both of these two game creation tutorials:
=== BGA Studio game components reference ===
* [[Tutorial reversi]]
* [[Tutorial gomoku]]


Then start editing files and see what happens! ;)
Game components are useful tools you can use in your game adaptations.


If you have any questions, please ask them on the [http://forum.boardgamearena.com/viewforum.php?f=12 development forum].
* [[Deck]]: a PHP component to manage cards (deck, hands, picking cards, moving cards, shuffle deck, ...).
* [[Counter]]: a JS component to manage a counter that can increase/decrease (ex: player's score).
* [[Scrollmap]]: a JS component to manage a scrollable game area (useful when the game area can be infinite. Examples:  Saboteur or Takenoko games).
* [[Stock]]: a JS component to manage and display a set of game elements displayed at a position.
* [[Zone]]: a JS component to manage a zone of the board where several game elements can come and leave, but should be well displayed together (See for example: token's places at Can't Stop).


== Other resources ==
Undocumented component (if somebody knows please help with docs)
* [[Draggable]]: a JS component to manage drag'n'drop actions.
* [[ExpandableSection]]: a JS component to manage a rectangular block of HTML than can be displayed/hidden.
* [[Wrapper]]: a JS component to wrap a  &lt;div&gt; element around its child, even if these elements are absolute positioned.
