Folders (good practices)

• Scenes: This folder contains all the scenes of your game, such as levels, menus, and UI screens. Organize them into subfolders based on their purpose or category.

• Scripts: This folder holds all your game scripts. You can organize them based on functionality, such as player scripts, enemy scripts, input handling, etc. It's a good idea to use subfolders if your project becomes large.

• Resources: This folder is for non-code assets like images, audio files, fonts, and 3D models. Create subfolders based on asset type (e.g., textures, sounds, fonts) or based on the area of the game they belong to (e.g., characters, environment). This structure makes it easy to locate and manage your game assets.

• Settings: Keep project-specific settings and configuration files here, such as input mappings, game settings, or localization files. These can include Godot project files (e.g., .tscn, .tres) or custom configuration files (e.g., .gdconfig).

• Modules: If you're using custom modules, plugins, or third-party libraries, store them in this folder. Keeping them separate from the rest of your project's code can help with organization and version control.

• Export: This folder is automatically created when you export your game for distribution. It contains the exported binaries and assets specific to each target platform.

• Tests: If you have automated tests for your project, you can create a separate folder to store them. This folder can include unit tests, integration tests, or any other testing-related scripts or assets.

• Documentation: It's useful to have a folder dedicated to documentation and design materials, such as concept art, game design documents, or reference materials. This can help you and your team keep track of important information about your project.
