Hi,
I would like to fork Litecoin to create my own cryptocurrency. I found some video tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86jqAfySi64
This tutorial is for so old version. Source code of Litecoin is now completely different (there is no main.cpp file etc.), I need it for current version. Anyone can help?
Thanks.

Of course you won't find that file, the repository has gone trough dozens refactorings and optimizations.
The closest in terms of same functionalites is validation.cpp
Do you have strong programming background? Because a good fork is not something one create just by following tutorials.
Yes, I have some programming skills, not C++, but C#, but I understand that code. I don't want to waste time going thru the whole code, I just need to find where I can change Public key, block time, block nonce, merkle root, genesis block hash, target time, target spacing, map checkpoints, main net DNS seed addresses etc.
By the way you want things done, don't be surprised when you new coin (if ever you succeeded in creating one) gets treated like a shitcoin, and it surely will.
I need it for other purpose than you might think. I want to partialy premine some coins of this cryptocurrency and give it away to players of my game I've created in Unity for their achievements in game as such kind of a bonus. This is not supposed not to be serious coin, its just a funny reward for playing my game.
