New texture groups (ui, world, weather, damage, designations) packed into 31 atlases; directories are lowercase now, so scene code switches to the new region keys (filenames keep their case). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# LittleSim
|
|
|
|
A god-game: minimal graphics, deep simulation. Built on the **mrgameeng** engine
|
|
(MonoGame + Friflo ECS), vendored as the git submodule `engine/` so the game and the
|
|
engine are developed side by side in one editor window.
|
|
|
|
Game design docs live in `docs/` and are written in **Russian**. Engine rules live in
|
|
`engine/CLAUDE.md` — read it before touching engine code; both rule sets apply here.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
engine/ mrgameeng git submodule (own repo, own CLAUDE.md)
|
|
src/LittleSim the game (net8.0); references engine projects directly
|
|
docs/ концепт, симуляция, roadmap (Russian)
|
|
LittleSim.sln game + engine sources + engine tests — one window for everything
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git submodule update --init # after fresh clone
|
|
dotnet build LittleSim.sln
|
|
dotnet run --project src/LittleSim -c Release # measure perf in Release only
|
|
dotnet test LittleSim.sln # runs the engine test suites
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Texture atlases
|
|
|
|
Source images live in `textures/` (committed); the game only loads packed atlases from
|
|
`src/LittleSim/Assets/Atlases` (also committed — the asset generator emits
|
|
`GameAssets.Atlases.*` handles for them). After changing `textures/`, rebuild with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dotnet run --project engine/tools/MrGameEng.AtlasTool -c Release -- textures src/LittleSim/Assets/Atlases --group-depth 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Rebuilds are incremental (unchanged groups are skipped). Region keys are paths relative
|
|
to `textures/` without extension: `atlas.GetRegion("things/plant/treeoak/TreeOakA")`.
|
|
|
|
## Submodule workflow
|
|
|
|
Engine changes are committed **inside `engine/` first** (engine repo, its commit style),
|
|
pushed to the engine remote, then the submodule pointer bump is committed here.
|
|
Never commit a pointer to an unpushed engine commit.
|
|
|
|
## Game rules
|
|
|
|
- Simulation first: depth of behavior over visuals. Graphics stay primitive
|
|
(tinted quads are fine); complexity budget goes to simulation systems.
|
|
- Determinism: the whole world derives from one integer seed. Systems that need
|
|
randomness own a seeded `Random`; never use `Random.Shared` inside simulation.
|
|
- Simulation/presentation split: simulation systems mutate components only;
|
|
rendering reads them. No draw calls or UI from simulation systems.
|
|
- ECS-first per the engine: plain `struct : IComponent` data, logic in systems.
|
|
- Every new mechanic gets a dev-console command for testing (`regen`, `timescale`, …).
