This should be considering a personal learning project and likely will not follow the correct guidelines. However, if any of the code is useful for your project, feel free to use it. The quality of the code should improve build after build and i tend to clean-up duplication of data from time to time.
The goal of this project is not to build a game engine. If you are searching for game engines based on Pixi, perhaps give https://phaser.io/ a try.
