====== Creating your own orx/Scroll project using 'init' ======

You can easily generate an orx/Scroll project using ''init'' from the github version of Orx.

This article assumes that you have [[en:tutorials:orx:cloning_orx_from_github|downloaded the latest version of Orx from github]] and have built Orx.


===== How to Create your own orx/Scroll project =====

There are two ways to create an orx/Scroll project. Firstly, using Interactive Mode:

  init 

Then follow all the prompts and choose ''yes'' when asked if you want to include scroll:

  [Extension] scroll: C++ convenience layer with config-object binding? (no)
  
The second way is to specify everything on the commandline:

  init myGameFolder/MyGame +scroll

Please note that on Linux & MacOS, one will need to invoke ./init.sh instead of simply init
</WRAP>

===== Working with your project =====

Load your new orx/Scroll project using your favourite IDE. You'll find your build in the ''build'' folder.


===== Adding Scroll classes and Objects ===== 

Now you can begin working with your orx/Scroll project. The following tutorials will help get you up and going if you haven't used Scroll yet:

The default orx/Scroll project comes with some demo code and one demo Object to play around with.

===== Bootstrapping =====
The generated orx/Scroll project is set to bootstrap the default config file. You can read more about this process here: [[en:tutorials:orxscroll:changing_default_config_file_for_scroll|bootstrapping the location of your first config file]].
