# Structure
-- All engine-related code is implemented under the `crepe` namespace,
- user-facing APIs under `crepe::api` (the folder structure should also reflect
- this).
+- Files are placed in the appropriate directory:
+ |Path|Purpose|
+ |-|-|
+ |`crepe/`|Auxiliary, managers|
+ |`crepe/api/`|User-facing APIs|
+ |`crepe/util/`|Standalone utilities and helper functions|
+ |`crepe/system/`|(ECS) system classes|
- Do not (indirectly) include private *dependency* headers in API header files,
as these are no longer accessible when the engine is installed
+- All code is implemented under the `crepe` namespace.
- Header files declare either a single class or symbols within a single
namespace.
