Code Organization Structure

The project adopts a modular design with a clear code organization structure:

Layered Structure: Separate header files and source files, stored in include/ and src/ directories respectively
Functional Modularization: Divide code into multiple modules according to functions, such as danmaku module, window module, utility function module, etc.
Naming Conventions: File and directory naming is clear, reflecting their functions and purposes

Development Suggestions

New Files: When adding new features, new files should be placed in the corresponding directories according to the existing directory structure
Code Style: Maintain consistency with existing code style to ensure code readability
Documentation Update: When modifying file structure or adding new files, this document should be updated in a timely manner

Project Technology Stack

Development Language: C++17
