It's a simple tutorial about how to use the Asset system

Prerequisites: You should have your workspace ready with Terasology in Eclipse or IntelliJ and be ready to launch gradle commands on the project. See the Dev Setup for a full guide. This tutorial will be written from an Eclipse perspective but should be easy to follow with IntelliJ though.

Every step from the tutorial is reflected in the module hosted in this repository. You should be able to fetch the entire module via groovyw module get TutorialAssetSystem. It is not required to follow the tutorial but can be used to get a quick overview.

There are some pages with short documentation for different topics. They are referenced from the tutorial pages but in case you need one of them right now:

• Block Definition
• Deltas and Overrides
• Damage Types
• Texture Atlas
• Block Families
