Planet Chili

I'm currently at the end of episode 7 of Chili's series, where he tells us we can now make games. I don't want to lose the current program we have made right now, but want to make a new program where I can try make a game. How do I do that? Because if I just make a new program, Chili's Framework is obviously not in it. Should I download Chili's Framework again? Can I rename them so that I can get the right files easier? Also, I'd like to know how you guys sort your programs, i.e. where you put the program, how you name it (since that often messes with the program itself) and stuff like that. Before I go I want to thank Chili for the amazing tutorials! Keep 'em coming!

You could clone an empty frame work for your new project. Or if you're just playing around I guess you could just make a new branch at the beginning

The simplest way to do it is literally copy the folder containing the chili framework and work on the copy

Yes, for now just copy the folder, or download a fresh framework zip from where you downloaded the original (the wiki). Later on we will get to Git stuff.

Thanks for the tips guys! I'm currently working on Pong!

If you're working on bigger projects like that. I suggest you try to learn how to use git. It's kind of tough to get your head around if it's a new concept, but once you do understand it, it helps A LOT with version control, rolling back code when you mess something up and just keeping track of changes in general.

You don't have to use it if you're not adding a ton of functionality to it. If you're just making the good old classic pong, you'll probably be fine. But I suggest you at least take a peek at either chili's tutorial on it:

or maybe look at codecademy's tutorial: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-git

I'll check that asap YoMomIsANiceLady!
