For whom is it useful?

CORE is only useful for new projects. Already existing projects could break because CORE has certain requirements that must be met.

Requirements

• No autoload singletons are allowed before CORE has initialized
• Startup scene must be res://CORE/background.tscn
• Scene management must be done with smgr (the CORE scene manager)
• Logging should be handled using the CORE logger

How to install

• Clone CORE into your project root using git clone https://git.staropensource.de/StarOpenSource/core.git CORE
• Remove any autoload singletons
• Add three scripts to your autoload:

  Name	Path
  coreloader	res://CORE/coreloader.gd
  Logger	res://CORE/logger.gd
  Preprocessor	res://CORE/preprocessor.gd

• Select res://CORE/background.tscn as your startup scene
• Follow the post-installation guide

How to update

• Close your project
• Pull new changes using git pull
• Reopen your project
