How do you get involved in development of friction?

I'm a unity c# dev with 2 years experience. What do I need to learn to get involved in friction 2d development?

Here's an introduction to skia c++

I don't know what I'm doing with this but I'm currently installing Qt and it going terribly. Remember not to install the commercial version of Qt. Because then you cant go back. I looked up on how to build Friction and Enve here(Since, on how to build is more clearer on Enve):
https://github.com/MaurycyLiebner/enve/blob/master/Source%20and%20building%20info.md
https://github.com/friction2d/friction/blob/main/BUILD.md
But, hopefully in a couple of hours Qt will be installed and I can mess around with the code but currently nobody offering help. I'll try to push through and update my progress here and if I don't then I quit.

I finally built Friction from source and I recorded the entire process so will linking video to that shortly.
It took me 2 days of work.
At first I thought you could just press play with the code in vscode but that didn't work so I looked more carefully at the instructions and ask @rodlie for help and chatgpt and eventually I did it. Now I just need to get into the coding part.

Now do I use qt to edit software? Or is it all done in code and how do I preview my changes?

Hi.

Basic knowledge of C++ (and Qt) is needed to do anything.

I would suggest checking out some tutorials on C++/Qt before starting.
