Project Structure

Initialize the project structure

Now, depending on the chosen build system, your project structure might look slightly different. LITIENGINE doesn’t restrict you in how you can organize your project. However there are some common practices that we think are useful to apply for a Game project with the LITIENGINE:

• store your resources in src folders
• create multiple sub-folders for different types of resources
• save all the resources for your game within the project folder

An example LITIENGINE project structure

game-project
└─── sprites
│   │─── sprite1.png
│   └─── ...
│─── audio
│   │─── sound1.ogg
│   └─── ...
│─── maps
│   │─── map1.tmx
│   │─── tileset.tsx
│   │─── tileset.png
│   └─── ...
│─── localization
│   │─── strings.properties
│   │─── strings_de_DE.properties
│   └─── ...
│─── src
