Developing BiguaSim

Note

BiguaSim has updated from using Unreal Engine 4.27 to 5.3. If you are developing worlds, agents, sensors, etc. using Unreal, you will need to download Unreal Engine 5.3 to develop from the current release and develop branches. Unreal Engine 4.27 usage is still available using previous releases of BiguaSim.

For users that would like to add to or modify BiguaSim, this documentation will help you get started.
