  2. Press 1 if you want to create a new scene

  4. Rebuild the SceneManager from your available scenes.

Your scenes will be located under [Your Project]/Scenes. SceneManager will read this folder and generate a code that contains every scene id and initializing your scenes. Because of this, it's not recommended to edit SceneManager manually, unless you know what you're doing.

Create New Scene

  1. Press 1 on ArduEngine Window.
  2. Enter your scene name (Must be Alphanumeric and no space) then press enter.
  3. Your new scene will be created under the /Scenes folder and SceneManager will be updated.

Remove Scene

  1. Press 2 on Arduengine Window.
  2. Enter your scene name that you want to remove.
  3. Your scene will be moved to /Scenes/Backups directory and your SceneManager will be updated.

It's recommended to create and remove scene from the ArduEngine Window instead of doing it manually. If somehow you create a new scene manually, you have to put your scene under the /Scenes folder, then you can rebuild the SceneManager from the window.

Every scenes inside the /Backups folder are safe to delete.
