## Generating a game
### Creating a YAML
In a multiworld there must be one YAML per world. Any number of players can play on each world using either the game's
native coop system or using archipelago's coop support. Each world will hold one slot in the multiworld and will have a
slot name and, if the relevant game requires it, files to associate it with that multiworld. If multiple people plan to
play in one world cooperatively then they will only need one YAML for their coop world, but if each player is planning on
playing their own game then they will each need a YAML. These YAML files can be generated by going to the relevant game's
player settings page, entering the name they want to use for the game, setting the options to what they would like to
play with and then clicking on the export settings button. This will then download a YAML file that will contain all of
these options and this can then be given to whoever is going to generate the game.
### Gather all player YAMLS
All players that wish to play in the generated multiworld must have a YAML file which contains the settings that they wish to play with.

The easiest and most recommended method is to generate the game on the website which will allow you to create a private
room with all the necessary files you can share, as well as hosting the game and supporting item trackers for various games.
