	Due to the, ~~uhm…~~ ''interesting'' structure of the ~~CrossCode’s~~ macOS application, the [[#Game_installation_folder\|'''game installation folder''']] is not necessarily the same as the '''game files folder'''. It also ~~isn’t~~ the same as the [[#Game_assets_folder\|'''game assets folder''']]. Files (HTML pages and JavaScript scripts) in this folder have full access to all of the ~~game’s~~ nw.~~js’s~~ features, and thus this folder is commonly used as a home for mods, modding tools and CCLoader in particular. On MS Windows and GNU/Linux it is the same as the installation folder, as such it also contains nw.~~js’s~~ files on these platforms.		Due to the, uhm...

	All other files come from the standard nw.js packages [https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.35.5/ you can download yourself] and '''~~weren’t~~ created by RadicalFishGames'''. All aforementioned files though are identical on all platforms, which means that you can take them from an installation on another platform, download the nw.js package on a different OS, place the game files inside and ~~you’ll~~ get a (synthetic, hehe) runnable version of the game on this another OS.
