How to create a custom Minigame?

1. Create a folder with the add-on name you prefere (need to be an unique folder name). Pay attention to keep the name lowercase.
2. Create a lua folder in this new created folder
3. Create a minigames folder in the lua folder
4. Create another minigames folder in the previously created minigames folder. Yea, seems to be redundant, but it isn't.
5. Create a .lua file with the name of your new minigame (need to be an unique name!), e.g. sh_my_unique_cool_minigame.lua, in the folder lua/minigames/minigames/.
6. Modify the following code as you prefere:

MINIGAME.author = "TheNameNobodyIsInterestedInAndNobodyGonnaGiveALook" -- author
MINIGAME.contact = "[email protected]" -- contact to the author

---
-- Called if the @{MINIGAME} activates
-- @hook
-- @realm shared
function MINIGAME:OnActivation()

end

---
-- Called if the @{MINIGAME} deactivates
-- @hook
-- @realm shared
function MINIGAME:OnDeactivation()

end
