Getting started with the EOS SDK

The EOS SDK is a tool that’s independent of any particular game engine, providing developers access to several cross-platform services that can be integrated into their games. Depending on the game engine being utilized, the level of integration options available to incorporate the EOS SDK into the game will vary. Nonetheless, the method of integration is at the discretion of the development team, and they may even use a combination of integration options.

In order to start using the EOS SDK you will have to:

Download it from the Developer Portal
Integrate it into your game

In this section, I will give you a brief walkthrough on how to get the SDK and to understand the basic concepts on how to integrate it in your project.
