== What is this? ==
 
'''Board Game Arena Studio''' is a platform to build online board game adaptation using the Board Game Arena platform.
 
It is open to any gamer with development skills :)
 
See announcement here:
http://forum.boardgamearena.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1973
 
== How can I develop a board game on BGA Studio? ==
 
Check these presentations first:
 
* [http://www.slideshare.net/boardgamearena/5-reasons-why-you-should-use-bga-studio-for-your-online-board-game 5 reasons why you should use BGA Studio for your online board game]
* [http://www.slideshare.net/boardgamearena/the-8-steps-to-create-a-board-game-on-board-game-arena The 8 steps to create a board game on Board Game Arena]
* [http://www.slideshare.net/boardgamearena/the-bga-framework-at-a-glance The BGA Framework at a glance]
* [http://www.slideshare.net/boardgamearena/bga-studio-focus-on-bga-game-state-machine Focus on BGA game state machine]
* [http://www.slideshare.net/boardgamearena/bga-studio-guidelines BGA developers guidelines]
 
== How do I register? ==
 
Registering is done by e-mail at '''studio(at)boardgamearena.com'''.
 
Please provide the following information:
* 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.
 
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'.
 
And of course, we also encourage you to tell us about which games you would love to develop on BGA!
 
== Ok, I registered, what do I get? ==
 
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)
 
<pre>NB: during the BETA pĥase, to smooth things up and make sure that everything is working correctly,
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:
* one login / password to access files through SFTP
* ten logins with numeric suffixes from 0 to 9 and a common simple password to test games on the studio website while developing.
 
Once logged in to your SFTP root folder, you will find:
* 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!
 
== 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.
 
After that, we would advise you to take a peek at this tutorial for creating the Reversi example game:
* [[Tutorial reversi]]
 
Then start editing files and see what happens! ;)
