EXAMPLE CODE - Empty HGE Project (with separated files)
-
When I first started with HGE a few months ago I wanted to make my project more managable.
I had some difficulty working out how I could separate a project into multiple files (Not really surprising as I am still a newbie in the c++ department XD).
Anyway I worked it out a while back and thought I would post an example almost empty project.
I was hoping that it will help someone out there :D
Also I was hoping that some of the more experianced members around here could take a look and point out anything that may be wrong with it or anything they would do differently.

In this project you put all functions in different files. Yes, this is a kind of a project optimization. But it is not useful on any real project. Just because an ide's supports several useful "find" utilities - in VC it is a class wizard, a find in files tool, markers and even collapsing of functions.
So, if the game consists of several screens, put render, frame, setup and deinitialization routines in a separate files.
Another idea is to put different classes (for player, for enemy, for controls) in a different files.
And, yes, placing a resources like bitmaps or fonts in a "Graphics" directory is a good idea too.
Howdy, Stranger!
