# Getting Started

This source allows you to interface MTA:SA with DirectX functions and handle additional functionality in a no-code way.

### 💭  How does it work? <a href="#want-this-page-as-an-extension-for-vscode" id="want-this-page-as-an-extension-for-vscode"></a>

Unlike other DirectX libraries created for MTA:SA, UIKit is Element and class based. This makes the source code and its use compact and provides great flexibility in the use of UI components.

Here is a sketch we drew before we started UIKit, this might help you understand how it works.
