Project Settings

From Shoot Em Up Kit

The Project Settings window is displayed when you create a new project and is used to set up properties such as the project name, screen resolution and controller to keyboard mapping. To edit these properties for an existing project, go to the Project Menu by clicking the ToolBarMenu.png Menu icon on the Tool Bar and then click the Project Settings button to open the window. After clicking OK the Project Menu screen is displayed.


To make a new copy of an existing project with a different name, change the Project Name and click OK. A new version will be saved with the new name; the original project will not be affected and can be loaded and edited as usual. You can also use ToolBarSaveAs.png Save As on the Tool Bar.
