Getting started

Everything you need to go from download to your first scene.

Getting Started with Prowl

Paper

  1. 1

    Install .NET 10

    Prowl compiles your scripts with .NET 10, so install the SDK first. You'll also need a reasonably modern graphics card with up-to-date drivers.

    Get .NET 10
  2. 2

    Download Prowl

    One zip for your system, with the editor inside. Free and MIT licensed.

  3. 3

    Open the editor

    Unzip the download and run the Prowl editor.

  4. 4

    Build your first scene

    Follow the getting-started video, from an empty project to something moving on screen.

Prowl is in preview. Expect breaking changes before 1.0, and back up your projects before opening them in a new release.

Other ways in.

Build from source

Clone the repo, open Prowl.slnx in Visual Studio, VS Code or Rider, then build and run Prowl.Editor.

$ git clone https://github.com/ProwlEngine/Prowl

Start in code

Reference Prowl.Runtime from your own .NET project and build without the editor.
