--- layout: post title: "Welcome to the Education Center: Developing Baldi’s Basics on GitHub" date: 2026-04-21 categories: devlog --- ## Welcome to the Schoolhouse! If you're reading this, you've stumbled upon the official (or community-driven) hub for everything related to the **Baldi's Basics** open-source project. Whether you're here to contribute code, report a bug, or just see how we're recreating that classic 90s edutainment "charm," we’re glad to have you in class. ### What is this Project? Baldi's Basics started as a meta-horror experience disguised as a state-of-the-art, fully 3D interactive fun-time educational game. Our goal with this [GitHub repository](https://github.com/craftycodie/BaldiMods) is to provide a clean, moddable, and extensible version of the game. * **Unity Engine:** We are utilizing the Unity engine to recreate the mechanics you know and love (and fear). * **Modding Friendly:** By using specialized namespaces like `Hooks`, we ensure that adding your own crazy characters or floor layouts is easier than solving a third-notebook math problem. ### Recent Updates & Bug Fixes We’ve been hard at work cleaning up the halls. Here are the latest highlights: 1. **Math Machine Calibration:** We’ve fixed several instances where "impossible" questions were causing unintended crashes. 2. **AI Pathfinding:** The Principal of the Thing is now 15% more efficient at catching people running in the halls. 3. **UI Overhaul:** A cleaner menu system that mimics that nostalgic, low-budget 1999 aesthetic. ### Getting Involved The schoolhouse doors are always open for contributors! If you're a developer or an artist, here’s how you can help: * **Issues:** Check our [Issue Tracker](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/37426) for current bugs. * **Wiki:** Head over to the [Baldi's Basics Wiki](https://fandom.com) to stay up to date on the deep lore and character secrets. ### A Quick Note on Safety We take your safety seriously. Please ensure you are only downloading files from this official GitHub organization to avoid potential malware found in unofficial mod menus. **See you in class!** — The Dev Team Use code with caution.
