After downloading the engine, the first step is to create a main.py file. In this file you the main application will be defined.

Important Note: The Hekate Engine will be in the src directory. Everything you create goes into the Content directory. The main.py file is the only exception.

This could be a sample main.py file.

        # self.catchMouse(True)

        self.mapLoader = MapLoader(self, maps)
        log.debug(f"Created Maploader")
