Serious Engine 1 Examples

This is a fork of Croteam's Serious Engine 1.10 that contains various examples of simple mods for educational purposes.

Each example sits under its own branch and the repository's wiki contains detailed explanation of each example and its commits on their own respective pages.

These examples are aimed towards beginners that wish to understand how certain features can be designed and implemented.
Some examples require you to have at least some understanding of the Entity Source (.es) syntax.
The examples for EntitiesMP, GameGUIMP and GameMP projects can also be applied to mods based on old Serious Engine 1 SDKs for TFE (v1.05) and TSE (v1.05 or v1.07).
If you wish to see an example of a desired feature, you can leave a suggestion by creating a new issue.
- Do not suggest features that are either too complex or too specific to some project. The examples are supposed to be generic and easy to understand.
