Project Structure

Once you have created the starter project using the Quickstart guide, you will see a cardinal directory with the following structure:

starter-game
└── cardinal
      ├── component
      ├── msg
      ├── query
      ├── system
      └── main.go

This is the basic structure of a Cardinal project. The component, msg, query, and system directories are where you will be spending most of your time. The main.go file is where everything is wired up together and is the entry point to starting your game shard.

In the next page, you will learn what goes into each of these files and directories.
