how do I update Korge in intelliJ. I want to start on a new project and use the latest version. But the new project creation shows 1.12.8

The IntelliJ plugin sometimes is a bit delayed because JetBrains has to authorize each update separately as I understand. <@U0BLPSJAK> knows more about that. 

As a workaround the plugin checks/updates this file (once a day):
<https://github.com/korlibs/korge-intellij-plugin/blob/c47afbd1b35306c14e9794e25dc8ef3743770999/src/main/resources/com/soywiz/korge/intellij/korge-templates.xml#L3>

I’m in the works of releasing a new version of the korge-gradle-plugin, and I’ll update that one too

<@U014TG8MX1A> do you need the newest version of korge or korge plugin?

hmmm... not yet. There is no blocker for me right now. I just wanted to know how to do it

1.12.8 wil be good enough for me right now

updating should be automatical. But we need to update that number in that file for that to happen

<@U014TG8MX1A> if you want to use a newer version of korge or korlibs, you just need to add a line in `gradle.properties` in your project with the needed version:
```korgeVersion=1.12.13
//klockVersion=...
//korimVersion=...
//etc.```
and then reimport gradle project.

one more silly question;
In the get started article, it was advised that a new user shouldnt select any of the choices here.
What happens if I select Korge here? Do i get started off with a template?

The Korge one does nothing. The others add a few lines at the build.gradle.kts to include the right dependencies
