In the project folders, what are css, data, and icon used for?

Hi there. I've been going through the project folders and trying to understand each one. I've figured out and how to use them all except for the three listed above, and I just couldn't find a solid answer anywhere. My best guess, with my very rudimentary understanding of code, is that css affects some appearances in the engine and data contains, well, data that the Database and map uses. I'm not looking for an in-depth answer since I likely won't touch them very much, but I at least want to know what their purpose is and how the engine uses them. Thank you in advance!

as you assumed the data is basically your entire game stored in json format.
as for css that is part of the HTML-side of things - MV and MZ produce HTML5-based games after all.

All that should be handled by the editor for you - messing directly with that part has a very high chance of breaking the project unless you are experienced and know what exactly you're doing.

Thanks! I figured that was the case. I have zero plans on touching those folders, but it's nice to have a concrete answer as to their purpose.

You could probably change the icon image without any problems if you keep the same dimensions. 128x128 icon.png

Its just a picture, I believe it is used for the game/app icon once the game is deployed.
