- <h1>General Godot project structure</h1>
-
- <p>One of my first issues when starting a project is how to structure everything. So I had to spend some time researching best practices and go with what I like the most and after trying some of them I wanted to write down somewhere what I&rsquo;m sticking with.</p>
-<p>The first place to look for is, of course, the official <em>Godot</em> documentation on <a href="https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/best_practices/project_organization.html">Project organization</a>; along with project structure discussion, also comes with best practices for code style and what-not. I don&rsquo;t like this project/directory structure that much, just because it tells you to bundle everything under the same directory but it&rsquo;s a really good starting point, for example it tells you to use:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>/models/town/house/<ul>
-<li>house.dae</li>
-<li>window.png</li>
-<li>door.png</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Where I would prefer to have more modularity, for example:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>/levels/structures/town/house (or /levels/town/structures/house)<ul>
-<li>window/<ul>
-<li>window.x</li>
-<li>window.y</li>
-<li>window.z</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>door/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>house.x</li>
-<li>house.y</li>
-<li>house.z</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-</ul>
-<p>It might look like it&rsquo;s more work, but I prefer it like this. I wish <a href="https://www.braindead.bzh/entry/creating-a-game-with-godot-engine-ep-2-project-organization">this site</a> was still available, as I got most of my ideas from there and was a pretty good resource, but apparently the owner is not maintaining his site anymore; but there is <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/7786ee/comment/dojuzuf/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x&amp;context=3">this excelent comment on reddit</a> which shows a project/directory structure more in line with what I&rsquo;m currently using (and similr to the site that is down that I liked). I ended up with:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>/.git</li>
-<li>/assets (raw assets/editable assets/asset packs)</li>
-<li>/releases (executables ready to publish)</li>
-<li>/src (the actual godot project)<ul>
-<li>.godot/</li>
-<li>actors/ (or entities)<ul>
-<li>player/<ul>
-<li>sprites/</li>
-<li>player.x</li>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>enemy/ (this could be a dir with subdirectories for each type of enemy for example&hellip;)<ul>
-<li>sprites/</li>
-<li>enemy.x</li>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>actor.x</li>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>levels/ (or scenes)<ul>
-<li>common/<ul>
-<li>sprites/</li>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>main/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>overworld/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>dugeon/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>Game.tscn (I&rsquo;m considering the &ldquo;Game&rdquo; as a level/scene)</li>
-<li>game.gd</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>objects/<ul>
-<li>box/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>screens/<ul>
-<li>main_menu/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>globals/ (singletons/autoloads)</li>
-<li>ui/<ul>
-<li>menus/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>sfx/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>vfx/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>etc/<ul>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>Main.tscn (the entry point of the game)</li>
-<li>main.gd</li>
-<li>icon.png (could also be on a separate &ldquo;icons&rdquo; directory)</li>
-<li>project.godot</li>
-<li>&hellip;</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>\&lt;any other repository related files&gt;</li>
-</ul>
-<p>And so on, I hope the idea is clear. I&rsquo;ll probably change my mind on the long run, but for now this has been working fine.</p>
