# Basic

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* World Engine ([quickstart](/quickstart))

## Scaffold a basic example

```bash theme={null}
world create --example basic
```

The basic example is a close to barebones example of how to use World Engine.

The Cardinal shard contains the following:

* Player **entities**
* Health **component**
* Regen **system**
* Attack **command**
* Player death **event**

While the client is a minimal Go client that operates via command-line.

Once scaffolded, you can run the World Engine stack (Cardinal shard, gateway, etc.) with:

```bash theme={null}
world dev # TODO
```

Once Tilt is running, you can play around with the client.

```bash theme={null}
go run cmd/client/main.go create-player johndoe
# go run cmd/client/main.go to see all commands
```
