* Code contributions
Reporting bugs
--------------
Use our [issue section](issueslink) on GitHub. Please check before that the
issue was not already added.
[issueslink]: https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla/issues
Feature requests
----------------
Please check first the list of [feature requests][frlink]. If it is not there
and you think is a feature that might be interesting for users, please submit
your request as a new issue.
[frlink]: https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22feature+request%22
Code contributions
------------------
Before starting hands-on on coding, please check out the
[projects page][projectslink] to see if we are already working on that. In case
of doubt or to discuss how to proceed, please contact one of us (or send an
email to carla.simulator@gmail.com).

#### What should I know before I get started?
Check out the ["CARLA Design"](carla_design.md) document to get an idea on the
different modules that compose CARLA, and chose the most appropriate one to hold
the new feature.
#### Coding style
Please follow the current coding style when submitting new code.
* Use spaces, not tabs.
* Comments should not exceed 80 columns, code may exceed this limit a bit in rare
occasions if it results in clearer code.
* Python code follows [PEP8 style guide](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) (use `autopep8` whenever possible).
* Unreal C++ code, CarlaUE4 and Carla plugin, follow the [Unreal Engine's Coding Standard](https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Development/CodingStandard/) with the exception of using spaces instead of tabs.
* CarlaServer uses [Google's style guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html).
#### Pull request
Once you think your contribution is ready to be added to CARLA, please submit a
pull request and one of our team members will take a look at it.
Try to be as descriptive as possible when filling the pull-request description.

CARLA Design
============
> _This document is a work in progress and might be incomplete._
CARLA is composed by the following modules
* Client side
- Python client API: "PythonClient/carla"
* Server side
- CarlaUE4 Unreal Engine project: "Unreal/CarlaUE4"
- Carla plugin for Unreal Engine: "Unreal/CarlaUE4/Plugins/Carla"
- CarlaServer: "Util/CarlaServer"
Python client API
-----------------
The client API provides a Python module for communicating with the CARLA server.
In the folder "PythonClient", we provide several examples for scripting a CARLA
client using the "carla" module.
CarlaUE4 Unreal Engine project
------------------------------
The Unreal project "CarlaUE4" contains all the assets and scenes for generating
the CARLA binary. It uses the tools provided by the Carla plugin to assemble the
cities and behavior of the agents in the scene.
Carla plugin for Unreal Engine
------------------------------
The Carla plugin contains all the functionality of CARLA. We tried to keep this
functionality separated from the assets, so the functionality in this plugin can
be used as much as possible in any Unreal project.
It uses "CarlaServer" library for the networking communication.
CarlaServer
-----------
External library for the networking communications.
See ["CarlaServer"](carla_server.md) for implementation details.
