Missing starter kit?

This is more of a request, but seems like what we are really missing is a complete barebones starter kit. Basically, no game logic whatsoever really is here, just an absolute shell template that has the common things such as the settings xml files, a txscene file that's empty, the game and gamecomponent classes (with basic stuff added, again, no game logic, just some methods and constructors, etc)

Basically, this would serve as the 'starting from scratch' starter kit for those like me who are too lazy to retype it every time ;)

That's what starter game is supposed to be. If you delete the movement component and the level file you'll have just that: an empty project. I guess it could be helpful to have a completely empty project (with an empty level), but I think we decided against that to keep new users from creating a project from a template that didn't run. It's definitely worth some thought, though.
