# Build a Tutorial

Create a tutorial with your experience with Monty to accomplish some goal.

## Format Options

The tutorial can be created in either format:

* A markdown tutorial file placed in our docs at `docs/how-to-use-monty/tutorials/` and added to the `docs/hierarchy.md` file.
* YouTube video.
* Blog post.

Both formats may potentially become core documentation if they add value to the existing getting started guides.

## Potential Tutorial Topics

The good way to find a topic is to write about something you found difficult to learn, something you wish had a tutorial available.

* Running through the steps to set up Monty on a new configuration of hardware / OS. (See [AgentRev's excellent WSL tutorial](/docs/getting-started-on-windows-via-wsl) as an example).
* How to add FLOPs measurements to a Monty experiment.
* How to create new 3D objects and render then in the simulator.
* How to turn an existing dataset into a learning environment for Monty.
* How to add a new type of sensor.
* How to integrate a new simulator.
* How to build a new action policy.

If you'd like more ideas on what kind of tutorials might be beneficial, you can message us on the [Discourse forum](https://forum.thousandbrains.org/) and also have a look at the [existing tutorials](/docs/tutorials) and [contributing tutorials](/docs/contributing-tutorials) pages.
