Generally, there's no difference between a script broken into multiple files, and a script that consists of one big file. Control can be transferred between files by jumping to or calling a label in another file. This makes the division of a script up into files a matter of personal style - some game-makers prefer to have small files (like one per event, or one per day), while others prefer to have one big script.

To speed up loading time, Ren'Py will compile the ``.rpy`` files into .rpyc files when it starts up. When a ``.rpy`` file is changed, the ``.rpyc`` file will be updated when Ren'Py starts up. However, if a .rpyc file exists without a corresponding ``.rpy`` file, the ``.rpyc`` file will be used. This can lead to problems if a ``.rpy`` file is deleted without deleting the .rpyc file.

The base directory is the directory that contains all files that are distributed with the game. (It may also contain some files that are not distributed with the game.) Things like README files should be placed in the base directory, from where they will be distributed.

The base directory is created underneath the Ren'Py directory, and has the name of your game. For example, if your Ren'Py directory is named renpy-6.11.2, and your game is named "HelloWorld", your base directory will be renpy-6.11.2/HelloWorld.

The game directory is almost always a directory named "game" underneath the base directory. For example, if your base directory is renpy-6.11.2/HelloWorld, your game directory will be renpy-6.11.2/HelloWorld/game.

The name of the executable, without the suffix. For example, if the executable is named moonlight.exe, it will look for a directory named moonlight under the base directory.
