Project startup

Hey everyone - taking a look at T2D MIT.

I'm trying to understand how projects start and modules are loaded into the game. I can follow the flow up to this line in AppCore/1/main.cs
ModuleDatabase.loadGroup("gameBase");

The next step, it goes to:
function Sandbox::create( %this )
in Sandbox/1/main.cs

Is this happening because the Sandbox/1/module.taml defines the module in the gameBase group?
Group="gameBase"

That's correct, Patrick. ModuleDatabase::loadGroup() is just a convenient way of loading multiple modules that are 'tagged' with some common identifier (in this case it's "gameBase").

Thanks Chris. I eventually found the documentation on the wiki that had this info in it. Took a while to get to the Module Manager section of the engine reference section with it being in alphabetical order.
