Hi Kareem,

Take a look through our Getting Started guild, it will help you understand the basics of the editor and game development in general.

[https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/GettingStarted/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/GettingStarted/index.html)

Once you get to the point where you starting your project, look through our documentation and extensive tutorial selection. We also have several templates to choose from that may help you get started.

> **[Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/)**
>
> Complete resources for learning to use Unreal Engine 5

> **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)**
>
> After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from...

If you run into anything that isn’t covered in our tutorials, the best place to start is our Forums. Most likely one of our users have struggled with and/or created something very similar.

If you can’t find a solution using all of this info, then create your own report. Just remember to follow a few general guidelines to help get the best response.
