# Welcome

## Getting Started

The best way to get started with Yarn Spinner, using the **Core Components**, is to work through our [**Beginner's Guide**](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/2.4/beginners-guide), which is a gentle introduction to:

1. [**Syntax Basics**](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/2.4/beginners-guide/syntax-basics) — Using **Try Yarn Spinner** to learn the basic syntax for writing Yarn, the language for writing dialogue in Yarn scripts.
2. [**Writing Narratives**](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/2.4/beginners-guide/writing-narratives) — Moving to **Yarn Spinner for Visual Studio Code**, and learning how to structure narratives and stories using features of the Yarn language.
3. [**Using a Game Engine**](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/2.4/beginners-guide/making-a-game) — Using **Yarn Spinner for Unity**, **Yarn Spinner for Godot**, or **Yarn Spinner for Rust**, and integrating a Yarn script with what’s happening in the game engine, as well as one simple way of nicely displaying your dialogue in-game.
