  • Put back the character/ennemies assets in assets/
  • Add a new database layer able to merge multiple scripts in one
  • Make it load everything on startup
  • API : db:getList("sub.folder") db;get("sub.folder", "dataname") db:getFile("sub.folder.specific.file")
  • Keep it really simple

Old version :

- [ ] Add constants pointers for many things instead of hardcoded text
- [ ] Split in several "database file" some important datas
- [ ] Split some elements in several lists
- [ ] Maybe add a validator that can be called from a special checkdatabase.sh ? Basically check all the data files and create a file with all errors ?
- [ ] Separate the maps and events files in their own folders outside of gamedata
- [x] Put back the assets in assets folders
- [ ] Maybe preload the database ?

Exemple of splits : 
- Instead of the characters folders, split in several files with the datas, and using `[CHAR_SONIC] = {},` or some stuff like that
- For the move, split in a "moves.lua" file, a "moves_aniamtions.lua" file, a "moves_effects.lua" file, and files for choregraphies.
- For the ennemies, use a species/ennemies split like in pokemon
