Create from a Template

From Shoot Em Up Kit

The Shoot 'em Up Kit now includes a range of game templates to use as a starting point for different styles of game. The controls, camera and player ship are already in place to make it easier to get started on a game.


To make a game from a template, select Create from a Template on the Create New Project Menu. The Create a New Project window will be displayed:
