Creating a New Project

The first thing you will need to do when starting out with GameCore is create a new Project. Projects can be thought of as a high-level 'container' that stores all of the resources required by your game or application, including models, textures, sounds and scripts.

To begin with GameCore, you must first create a project. When you run GameCore, the first window that appears gives you a couple of option, including:

• Create New Project
• Open Existing Project

Let's choose 'Create New Project', and then find the 'Empty Project' template in the list.
We are going to use the Empty Project template for this document, as it gives us a very bare bones project without any unnecessary clutter to confuse us while we go through the steps.
The editor will ask you for a location to save the Project. Click the '...' button to browse for a directory to save your project in. Please note that the directory must be empty.
Please note that GameCore Projects can be stored anywhere on your computer, and do NOT necessarily have to be located where you have GameCore installed. For example, the default installation directory for GameCore is “c:\Program Files\GameCore Suite”, but you could store your GameCore projects elsewhere, for example “c:\Projects” or another drive as necessary.
