Engine bump: MrGameEng.Core is now platform-free (Friflo only), the
windowed MonoGame host lives in the new MrGameEng.Host library, and the
core gains HeadlessHost — a fixed-timestep loop without a window or GPU.
Game side: scenes switch to Transitions.Fade from the Host library,
WorldScene reads the graphics device via Context.GetGraphicsDevice(),
GameContent.Load(buildAtlases: false) skips atlas building for headless
runs.
LittleSim.Server is the dedicated-server seed and the showcase for
HeadlessHost: it loads mods/defs without textures and fast-forwards the
world calendar and climate on a fixed tick (~3.6M ticks/s in Debug):
dotnet run --project src/LittleSim.Server -- --days 10 --tps 60

- Added new UI strings for menus, settings, and pause functionality in both English and Russian localization files.
- Introduced a new WorldPresetDef class to define world size and population settings, allowing for dynamic world creation.
- Updated world generation logic to support customizable terrain smoothing and population settings based on user-defined presets.
- Refactored WorldScene to utilize the new WorldConfig structure for improved world initialization and loading.
This commit improves the user experience by providing more options for world creation and enhancing the overall localization of the game.
Wire the engine's new MrGameEng.AI module into a PawnBrain for world pawns,
plus surrounding content/scene tweaks. Apply CSharpier across the game and
document the convention in CLAUDE.md. Add .vscode/settings.json so the editor
formats on save with the CSharpier extension.
The whole game is now described by Mods/Core — the first consumer of
the engine's new MrGameEng.Mods module:
- textures/ moved to Mods/Core/Textures; atlases are built at game
start from the merged texture tree of all active mods into Cache/
(gitignored, incremental) instead of being committed, and the
GameAssets atlas handles are gone with them
- terrain, plants and pawns are JSON defs (Mods/Core/Defs) with parent
inheritance; scenes read TerrainDef/PlantDef/PawnDef instead of
hardcoded arrays, and the TerrainKind enum is retired
- HUD strings come from Mods/Core/Languages (ru default, en fallback)
through LanguageManager; the language switches at runtime
- new console commands: mods, lang [code], defs [type]; atlas now
inspects the runtime-built cache
- bump engine: MrGameEng.Mods module and the explicit-sources
AtlasBuilder overload

MrGameEng.Pathfinding (A*/Dijkstra/BFS + flow fields for crowds) and
MrGameEng.Collisions (spatial hash, pairs/queries/raycast) are now in
LittleSim.sln. Flow fields are the planned steering tool for villagers.

God-game: minimal graphics, deep simulation. The engine lives in the
engine/ git submodule and its sources plus test suites are part of
LittleSim.sln, so engine and game are developed in one editor window.
Playable skeleton: seed-deterministic terrain (smoothed height field ->
water/sand/grass/forest/mountain tinted cells), 80 wandering villagers
on a Y-sorted layer, god camera (WASD pan, wheel zoom, world-bounds
clamp), HUD and the dev console with a 'regen [seed]' command.
CLAUDE.md sets the game rules: simulation-first, one-seed determinism,
simulation/presentation split, a console command for every mechanic.
