Folder Structure for Ren'Py?

#1 Post by that_wannabe_cat »

Is there any set guidelines for structuring files and folders in Ren'py? For example in java you place any source code under src/main/java and any test code under src/main/test.

I made my own file structure for the game I'm working on, but I was wondering if there is anything more official or recommended for future projects.

Not as far as I know. Any way that works for you will be good. :)

renpy scans for every .rpy file in the game directory and it's sub directories.
as long as you keep in mind that renpy reads the files in order it finds (nearly alphabetical), you'll be fine.

Ah. Was hoping there was some documentation for a recommended structure. Oh well. Thank you for answering.
