# Setup
### Introduction
This tutorial begins with the creation of a new project in FlatRedBall. We'll make a new **Desktop GL .NET 6** project.
### Creating a new project
To create a new project:
1. Select **File** -> **New Project** or click the **New Project** button in the **Quick Actions** tab if you do not have a project open already
2. Enter the name **RockBlaster** (no spaces) as your project name
3. Click **Create Project!**
Wait for your project to finish downloading and the Project Setup Wizard automatically opens.
Check the **Custom (Advanced)** option.
Select Start Wizard from Scratch.
We will change a few of the default options. Follow along with these images and make your options match.
Our game will not use **Tiled Map** files. **CloudCollision** is only used for platformer games.
Our player will not use default control types like **Top-down** or **Platformer**. We will be implementing our own custom controls, so select the **None (controls will be added later)** option. Our player will rotate, so **Circle** collision is preferred to Rectangle collision. Also, our player is not a platformer character, so uncheck **Add Player vs. cloud collision**.
Change **Number of levels to create** to **1**. Uncheck the other options since our game does not have any **Tiled Map** files.
Leave UI options unchanged. We will use Gum to display game HUD.
Set the Game Resolution to 800x600 and the Game Scale% to 100. Uncheck all other **Camera** options. Our game will not have a Camera which moves.
Skip the option to Download/Import screens by clicking **Next**.
Skip the option to add additional objects by clicking **Next**.
Click **Done**. Wait a moment and your project will be all set up.
If we run our game now we will see our player which is a white circle.
### Conclusion
That was easy! You now have a project that we will use in the following tutorials. Next we will set up the skeleton (the general structure) of our game.
