Navigate to https://github.com/Darkchicken/SeniorProjectRPG.git

and clone the repository to your local computer to contribute changes.

Open the git project in Unity to begin work.

Any work should be done by creating a separate branch off of the master and working on that branch. Any completed changes should be submitted as a pull request to the master.

Any changes that only involve code changes should discard possible changes to the scene to avoid causing merge conflicts with other branches.

Any scripts are stored in the _Scripts folder. Templates for game objects that need to be spawned at runtime are saved in the _Resources folder.
