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. Design docs in Russian under docs/.

# 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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`, …).
