Please read our [code of conduct](#code-of-conduct). We do our best to treat others fairly and foster a welcoming environment.

## Project Setup

This is a C# nuget package, for use with the .NET SDK 6 or 7. As such, the `dotnet` tool will allow you to restore packages and build projects.

The `GodotHelper.Tests` project must be built with the Godot editor at least once before `dotnet build` will succeed. Godot has to generate the .NET bindings for the project, since tests run in an actual game environment.

## Coding Guidelines

Your IDE should automatically adhere to the style guidelines in the provided `.editorconfig` file. Please try to keep lines under 80 characters long whenever possible.

We try to write tests for our projects to ensure a certain level of quality. We are willing to give you support and guidance if you need help!
