A project is created for users whenever they undertake a tutorial. They can also 'Save As' to duplicate a project.
Each project stored in MongoDB as a bunch of JSON.
_id ObjectId a unique project identifier
__v Number an internal revision of the document
author_id ObjectId reference to the author of the project
tutorial_id ObjectId reference to the tutorial this project was created for, if applicable
name String a name for the project
description String optional description of the project
stage Mixed stage JSON object, including all the objects on the stage
created_at Date project creation date
updated_at Date last modification date
is_featured Boolean not currently used (in the future, could be used for a Featured Projects list)

"_id" : ObjectId("52319153808aa51d1b000001"),
"__v" : 0
"author_id": ObjectId("52319153808aa51d1b000002"),
"tutorial_id": ObjectId("52319153808aa51d1b000003"),
"name": "Sample name of the project",
"description": "Sample description text",
"stage": {},

"updated_at": "2013-09-18T09:26:29.842Z",
"is_featured": ""
}
Each project must have one and only one stage, which is another JSON object.
width Number
height Number
background String
entity_set Array
is_active Boolean
On stage there could be multiple entities, each defined by:
name String
description String
properties Mixed
methods Array
events Array
{
"name": "Entity title",
"description": "Entity explained",
"properties": [
...
],
"methods": [
...
],
"events": [
...
]
}
See Entities for more information on entities and their structure.
The idea is that projects should be able to be created from scratch, or from basic templates (e.g. a Long Jump project). But right now, projects can only be created via tutorials.
