This fork will be used in Endless's learning programs and will receive student contributions. The more this version diverges or expands, the more confusing it will be to have two related games in existence with the same name.

We should differentiate, either by including some kind of branding like "Candy Wrapper - Endless Edition", or by renaming the project to something else.

@wjt pointed out that we've been instructed to avoid naming products with the organization name (no more "Endless This" and "Endless That", I guess). I think "Candy Wrapper - Endless Edition" could work, but Will also suggested "Everlasting Candy" which I like the idea of:

  • Nod to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Everlasting Gobstopper
  • Everlasting evokes Endless
  • It signals that the game will become "everlasting", i.e. we keep adding community-contributed content

If there are no qualms with that, I'm happy to tackle renaming the repo and updating the README.

"Everlasting Candy" sounds good!

Retitle project to “Everlasting Candy”

Practically speaking, this changes the window's title, and the name of the
project in the Godot Editor project list.
