  Put all your common files in some common folder on your hard drive, and like that folder into each Gideros project that needs it

  It is even easier with recent version of gideros, where you can manage code dependencies from code files themselves. It makes turning a folder into a reusable library a lot easier.

  Sounds cool! How to do it?
  My 'init.lua' file depends on 'datasaver.lua', I usually right click on 'init.lua' and choose "Code dependencies...".
  How can I avoid manual setup of dependecies?

  @hgy29 Hi again!
  I've just tried to start new project based on previous template. It seems that code dependencies are totally broken or random (actually I had only one dependency: init.lua depended on dataSaver.lua)
  
  I use very simple OOP code&file structure:
  
  /root/
  init.lua
  main.lua
  appConfig.lua
  /classes/* --generic classes like button.lua, gtween.lua, etc
  /gui/* --my classes
  
  Inside main.lua I create several objects:

  myobj1=myclass1.new() stage:addChild(myobj1)   myobj2=myclass2.new() stage:addChild(myobj2) --etc.

  
  It all worked as expected in the normal first project.
  But when I've created second project, I've linked my files&folders from the first project (linked init.lua, main.lua too), and now all my classes are totally broken like there're no dependencies, lots of errors. If I duct-tape one class, then another class breaks, then another, etc...
  
  Can such unexpected behavior be caused because I've linked main.lua and init.lua?

  No, I don't think so. Did you use the "--!NEEDS:someOtherLuaFile.lua" style tags to set dependencies ? Also I am not sure how making init.lua depending on something else works, since by definition init.lua should be loaded first by gideros.
