# Getting started
## [Introduction to decomp](introduction.md)
- What we are doing
- Structure of the code
## Pre-decompilation
- Building the repo (follow the instructions in the [README.md](../../README.md))
- Most of us use VSCode. Some useful information is [here](vscode.md).
<!-- Feel free to document Emacs/Vi/Sublime/whatever if you're familiar with them -->
- Choosing a first actor (You want something small that has simple interactions with the environment. A simple NPC can also work, and is what we will use as an illustration for most of the tutorial. There is a collection of actors we think are suitable for beginners on the spreadsheet or Trello)
## Decompilation
- [Begining decompilation: order, Init and the actor struct](beginning_decomp.md)
- Order of decompilation
- Init and common actor features
- Initchains
- Actors and dynapoly actors
- Colliders
- Skelanime
- [The rest of the functions in the actor](other_functions.md)
- Order of decompilation
- Action Functions and other functions
- [Draw functions](draw_functions.md)
- [Data, migration and non-migration](data.md)
- Importing the data: early and late
- Segmented pointers
- Fake symbols
- Inlining
## [Object Decompilation](object_decomp.md) (TODO)
- Object files
- How we decompile objects
## After Decompilation
- See the [CONTRIBUTING.md](../../CONTRIBUTING.md) for most of the details for submitting PRs. Remember to format again after making adjustments from reviews!
- More information about specific preparations is in [this document](merging.md).
## Appendices
- [Types, Structs and Padding](types_structs_padding.md) (a miscellany of useful stuff)
- [Advanced control flow](advanced_control_flow.md) (an example of a more complex function which mips2c is not so good at)
- [Using the diff script and the permuter](diff_and_permuter.md) (using the diff script and the permuter to match something)
- control flow (branches) -> instruction ordering -> register allocation -> stack
- [Helper scripts] TODO: link when merged
To be written, maybe
- How we use git and GitHub
- Some notes on the basic structure of N64 MIPS
- Glossary
- Conventions
