Managing lots of code

[IWishIKnew]

So, I have crossed the 5,000 line mark in a project, and I am finding it to be getting a bit harder to manage with so much to keep track of. Are there any methodologies or designs out there that amke it easier to manage growing projects??

Also, I don't know if I can do this, so I'll ask: Is it feasable to group files into sub-folders in the project's working directory??

Subfolders are good. Take a look at cmake http://www.cmake.org/

mhmm...

I know, but is it feasable to group 20 files into different folders? Does it matter?

I would prefer someone who has managed 5,000+ lines of code on their own, and if that is you, ays15, then you need to elaborate.

Thank you for your time.

theres github but i dont think thats quite what you were asking for :p what is the project? and it helps me to modulize the code into source files

Decent file names and folder grouping helps a bunch. That's really all you can do though. Large projects *are* hard to manage.

well, thanks for your time then...

I do have git, though, which does make it easier to continue after a while away (school is demanding...).
