# A/B Street Instructions
General disclaimer: This is a very rough demo. The user interface is clunky, and
gameplay is not cohesively tied together yet. Please email
<dabreegster@gmail.com> or
[file a Github issue](https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/issues/) if you
hit problems.
## Installing the game
Grab a pre-built binary release -- updated every Sunday, announced at
[r/abstreet](http://old.reddit.com/r/abstreet):
- Windows:
https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.35/abstreet_windows_v0_1_35.zip
- Mac:
https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.35/abstreet_mac_v0_1_35.zip
- Linux:
https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.35/abstreet_linux_v0_1_35.zip
Unzip the folder, then run `play_abstreet.sh` or `play_abstreet.bat`. On
Windows, you'll probably get a warning about running software from an unknown
publisher.
Or you can [build from source](/docs/dev.md).
## Playing the game
General controls:
- Click and drag to move
- Scroll wheel or touchpad to zoom
- Click an object to see more actions
- The bottom bar shows key shortcuts
Things to try:
- The tutorial introduces many controls and mechanics.
- In sandbox mode, select an intersection, and spawn agents.
- Change the default "random" traffic in sandbox mode to "weekday" to see
realistic trips over a full weekday.
- The weekday traffic scenario should complete successfully on the small
montlake map. On other maps, it currently gridlocks or crashes. Most of
these are known issues.
- Go to edit mode (note this will reset the simulation). Select a lane type at
the top, then hover over a lane and press **space** to change it. Deselect the
lane tool, then click an intersection to edit stop signs or traffic signals.
- Go back to the main menu and pick a challenge. Eventually these will be very
self-guided, but there are various problems with all of them right now.
