Salty.uproject (UE 5.8) from the Third Person template with class redirects, the SaltyCore and Salty modules, the three build targets, USaltyAssetManager calling InitGlobalData, Config/Tags with the 23 root namespaces, Scripts/run-tests.sh, build.sh and Authoring/create_gym.py, L_Gym, Git LFS attributes and the placeholder test. Template variants kept as reference (D-41). The four Fab packs stay out of the repository for now (~10 GB). The editor serves the engine MCP plugin on 127.0.0.1:8000 through DefaultEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Unreal prototype
|
|
|
|
An Unreal Engine 5 project that builds three things in order and proves each one feels right before anything is
|
|
built around it: a movement controller, fighting, and crafting. Server-authoritative from the first line, C++
|
|
first, data-driven, telemetry from step 2, and worked as a ladder of small proofs rather than a roadmap.
|
|
|
|
Step 1 is built: `Salty.uproject` on Unreal Engine 5.8, two modules, the headless test runner and the gym. Step 2 (telemetry) is next.

## Read
|
|
|
|
- [`Docs/Design.md`](Docs/Design.md): what this is, in about two hundred lines. Start here.
|
|
- [`Docs/Steps.md`](Docs/Steps.md): the order of work and what closes each step.
|
|
- [`Docs/Spec/`](Docs/Spec/README.md): the specifications an implementer builds from.
|
|
- [`Docs/Ideas.md`](Docs/Ideas.md): what was carried over from the two earlier projects and not yet built.
|
|
- [`Docs/Decisions.md`](Docs/Decisions.md): every decision, the open ones, the deferred ones.
|
|
- [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md): the instructions an AI agent works from in this repository.

## Getting started
|
|
|
|
Open `Salty.uproject` with Unreal Engine 5.8, run `Scripts/run-tests.sh`, and press Play in `L_Gym` with two
|
|
clients and "Run Dedicated Server" on. `Scripts/Authoring/create_gym.py` rebuilds the gym.
|
|
|
|
Binary assets go through Git LFS; run `git lfs install` once per machine.
