Do you use Examples, or start from scratch?

Hey everyone,

I was just curious what everyone else does when they start a new project. Do you start out from a blank slate, or do you copy one of the included examples, and use the common scripts with it.

I assume using the common scripts cuts alot of dev time out, but starting from scratch would allow you to have your own structured code.

What do you guys do?

I use the Arcane.FX demo and make changes as necessary. My opinion is that, if I need to change the structure of the code, than modifying the code would take less time than building it from ground up.

I always used the starter.fps example until we came up with our own.

I would use the starter.fps if i was to make a multiplayer, fps or online game. If i wanted to make something like a maze game i would start from scratch.
