Creating a Bro Via Programming

Creating a bro via programming is a much more powerful method than only using json and will allow you much more freedom in designing your bro to be exactly the way you'd like.

If you don't have any experience with programming, I would probably advise against creating a custom bro via programming though, as it'd be a fairly difficult project for a beginner to take on. A better idea would be to use json. Or if you would like to learn programming, then you could try and create a more basic mod, in which case you might want to read this wiki instead, or you could just work through an introductory C# tutorial.
