# The TZombies Tutorial

Welcome to the **TZombies Tutorial**, a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial on building the TZombies NFT dApp on Tezos.

The **TZombies** dApp is an NFT collection of scary brains and zombies. Collectors are invited to connect their Tezos wallet to the web app and mint one or more NFTs. Some of these NFTs are free, and others cost 2 ꜩ. The app also features a marketplace where collectors can openly trade their brains and zombies.

You will learn how to create a modern and user-friendly dApp from scratch. The tutorial covers smart contract development and to front-end implementation.

The application front end will be written with the [React](https://react.dev/) library and the [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) development framework.The Smart Contract will be written in the [Archetype](https://archetype-lang.org/) language, with support from the [Completium](https://github.com/completium) suite of development tools.

The final application is deployed on the Ghostnet testnet at[ https://zombies-pi.vercel.app](https://zombies-pi.vercel.app), and the [repository](https://github.com/lgaroche/zombies) can be found on GitHub.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://superlouis.gitbook.io/tzombies/introduction/the-tzombies-tutorial.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
