 <WRAP justify>​This section will explain how to get started with the latest version of Unending Galaxy, provided you haven'​t played the game (much) yet. It assumes that you kept the default [[keyboard_mapping|key bindings]]. Before the game begins, be sure to review the [[game_settings|video and sound options]]. You do not need to restart a running game though, it is possible to change the settings also in-game. <WRAP justify>​This section will explain how to get started with the latest version of Unending Galaxy, provided you haven'​t played the game (much) yet.
