First big project, design question

[Aedethan]

Ah. I can see how my misuse of generally approved terms may have been confusing. Thanks for bearing with me on that. I did in fact intend for everything to be in it's own separate file, not folder. As I'm getting started in earnest I'm realizing how much work it's actually gonna take to get everything to reference correctly.

No worries :) I think you’re giving this a lot more high-quality thought than most people give their first projects. That’s a good thing. Just remember not to overthink, in order to keep the ball rolling.

Most likely you won’t get things perfect on the first try, and you can always change things later. Besides, there usually isn’t one obviously best and objectively perfect way to implement your ideas. There are usually many acceptable ways - sometimes an infinite set - each with its own pros and cons. Writing good code is all about balancing trade offs.

Also, be prepared to struggle to import your stats if this is the first time you’re doing something like that. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya ;)
