Getting Started

Welcome to the ChilliConnect developer guide, an extensive set of documentation that contains everything you need to start using ChilliConnect in your games. If you are new to ChilliConnect, we recommend you check out our Set Up tutorial that shows you how to create your first game and integrate with our SDK. From there, you can browse the rest of our features using the menu to the left.
