When you start the engine for the first time, the first thing that Force do is identifier us as new user. And if it was launched not from Nave or not project was created or opened before, then Force shows the Startup Window, where you can create new blank project or opened already exist one if it was.
Click on Create Project icon and go to Create New Project window. Also if you already in editor you can press Ctrl+Shift+N or in toolbar to open Project Creation window.
In this window you can setting up you project. Each project in Force containers basic information, like name, location (path where it will stored on disk), version, startup scene (the scene that will loaded along with project itself when project opens).
Also here you can specify the specific Template of your project, 2D or 3D. Base on template Force will setting up the editor to work with 2D objects with orthographic camera view and two axis X, Y, and 3D, with perspective camera view and three axis X, Y, Z to edit.
Generate Example Script setting will generate automatically new blank script on creation and store it into Scripts folder.
Configuration setting means how all scripts and final application will compile and build. Basically Debug or Release? Debug configuration used for development and debugging your game and will take more resource and will a little heavy, depends on size of your project. Release is final distributable application that eventually already done and prepare for release and publish and not will have debug binaries.
To open project you can click on Open Project icon in the Startup Window or if you already in editor with opened project just press Ctrl+Shift+O.
Select your favorite project and click on it and open. Also you can find project on disk or from USB drive for example.
After creating project or opened it you pop up right to the editor where you can build you application or game.
You can read full tutorial how to use the Editor in next section or use it as a reference for help with working on your projects.
If your click on more button, you go to additional project configuration. At this moment not much here to set.
And thats all! Just click on button to create and open new project.
