Tutorials

Tutorials are guided walkthroughs. You follow along; the tutorial picks the path. Each one takes you from a defined starting point to a concrete, visible result, with the project's primitives firing at each step so you see what the workflow actually does in motion.

What tutorials are not. Tutorials are not how-to guides — those assume you already know what you want to do and need only the recipe. Tutorials are not reference — those describe the surface, not the journey. Tutorials are not explanation — those discuss the why, while tutorials stay focused on the doing.

Start here

• Getting started — install, run a one-line program against the host simulator, and compile to paste-ready mlog. About five minutes; sets up enough context for the longer tutorial below.
• Writing mforth for Mindustry — the six-part walkthrough. Ladders from "hello, message block" up to porting a hand-written mlog script from the Mindustry wiki, side-by-side with the original. About one hour total; do the parts in order. Picks up where Getting started ends.
