Learn
Short lessons that build quests in your own project. Each lesson has five to eight steps and ends with something that runs. Start with an empty level; the example map LV_PulseQuest_Example is a finished result to compare with.
New to Pulse? The lesson The Pulse window of PulseFoundation shows the Set Up, Create, Test and Check steps that these lessons use.

How the lessons work
- Any order. Nothing is locked. A lesson that builds on another one says so at the top; in the editor, Set up from here creates what the earlier lessons built.
- In the editor. Pulse HUB can walk you through a lesson: it checks your steps, shows you the button to press and can do a step for you. Open the lesson in the Pulse Docs tab and choose Start in editor.
- On the web. The same text works as a plain page. The steps you finished are remembered in your browser only.
- Names. The lessons name the assets
DA_FirstQuest,ST_FirstQuestand so on. Use other names if you like; the checks find the assets by their type.
