Development
Most of Encounter+ is extensible without touching the app. Game systems, content packages and the browser client are all separate, versioned artifacts, and much of it is developed in the open.
This section is for people building on top of the app rather than using it.
What’s here
Section titled “What’s here”- Custom System — the guide to authoring a game system.
- Schema reference — the generated reference for every JSON format the app reads and writes, from import archives to definition files.
- URL scheme — driving the app from links.

Contributing
Section titled “Contributing”Systems and content packages are the easiest place to start — they need no app build, only a text editor and a device to reload on. Corrections to this site are welcome in the docs repository.
If you have published a system or a tool that belongs on this page, get in touch and it can be listed here and in the package registry.
