Yeah, I'm discouraging you to use either of those sources.
Simply, you don't have to make your features by yourself. Add in tutorials and try to understand
what does what, and if you don't understand, ask. If you go about those sources you'll get stuck with
a bunch of things you won't understand and you won't be able to make your own game to your likings.
I'll be honest though, I started out with Elysium and god I loved it at first but I started troubling at
how I didn't understand 95% of the code.. Then I found Mirage.. about 4 weeks after I found Elysium,
read up about the latest source which I think was 3.03 at that time and started adding in tutorial by tutorial.
Some I didn't even understand or go over (simply just copy and pasted) then I started modifying the tutorials
to my likings and got better at it. After I tried making my own things after knowing what's what.
