When you create a new game from the template, you will find a preset structure of folders and rooms in the project. Of course, you are not forced to work in this structure, but the way it is set up currently allows you to press F5 immediately after creating the project and you have your initialization, all libraries, external files, snap, scribble and the required controller objects at hand, initialized and working.
