# Getting Started

Navigate to an empty folder you want to work in, open a command prompt or Powershell window and run the following:

npm i -g decentraland
dcl init

And then run the following to see the "game" running in your browser:

dcl start

It should look something like this:

Default Scene

Frame rate for debugging in top left

Chat in bottom left. It actually works when players are connected to the same server. Try it by using a second tab.

A spinning box in the scene

You can walk (wasd or arrows) around and jump (space).

# Add a model

First we'll need the model itself, you can copy models/scene.glb from one of our example scenes.

Delete the example contents inside game.ts and then type the following:

// Create an entity for the main scene model
const baseScene = new Entity();

// Add it to the engine for rendering
engine.addEntity(baseScene);

// Give it a component for the model itself
baseScene.addComponent(new GLTFShape("models/scene.glb"));

# Configure the scene

The house we are working in spans several parcels of land. Update scene.json to include multiple parcels as seen here:

"parcels": [
    "0,0","1,0","0,1","1,1","1,2","0,2","2,0","2,1","2,2"
]
