'''Setup of Sphere'''

If you want to learn to script for Sphere 56b you should start by first reading the [[#Setting Up Sphere|Setting Up Sphere]] section. It will teach you how to set up a basic empty world to start your path. After that you should try reading the [[#Tutorials|Tutorials]], go slow, don't try to go through everything in one day as it takes time to read and fully understand everything.

If you have finished the 10 chapters then we encourage you to read the tutortials and other articles below. They may not be as important as the others but they are still quite useful and contain lots of useful information. Try making your own scripts and share with others at the [http://www.sphereserver.net/ SphereServer Forums]. You can also ask for help if you can't resolve something by yourself. Remember to use the [[#Reference Compendium|Reference Compendium]] below as it is really useful and always keep track of revisions to see all the changes being made to the core.
