# mrgameeng
2D game engine built on MonoGame 3.8.4 (DesktopGL), .NET 8, C#.
ECS-first: Friflo.Engine.ECS 3.6 is tightly integrated into the core — all gameplay
state lives in components, all logic in systems.
Design docs and developer documentation live in `docs/` and are written in **Russian**.
Keep them up to date when architecture or conventions change.
## Solution layout
```
src/ MrGameEng.* engine libraries (one per functional area)
samples/ MrGameEng.Sample — demo game showcasing every engine feature
tests/ xUnit test projects, one per engine library
docs/ architecture, conventions, roadmap (Russian)
```
Engine modules: `Core` (game loop, ECS world, scenes, time), `Graphics` (custom batched
renderer, camera, sprites), `Input`, `Audio`, `Assets` (runtime loading, no content
pipeline), `Assets.Generator` (Roslyn source generator for typed asset handles),
`UI` (Myra integration: `scene.UseUI()` after `UseRenderer2D()`), `DevConsole`
(in-game console capturing `Core.Log`; `scene.UseDevConsole()` last in OnLoad).
Dependency rule: every module may depend only on `Core`; `Core` depends only on
MonoGame and Friflo.Engine.ECS. `Assets.Generator` is a netstandard2.0 analyzer.
Documented exception: Myra renders with its own SpriteBatch internally.
## Commands
```
dotnet build MrGameEng.sln
dotnet test MrGameEng.sln
dotnet run --project samples/MrGameEng.Sample
```
## Architecture rules
- ECS-first: components are plain data (`struct` implementing `IComponent`),
behavior goes into Friflo systems (`QuerySystem`), wired through `SystemRoot`.
No `Update()` methods on game objects, no inheritance-based entities.
- Hot paths (per-frame systems) must be allocation-free below the renderer's parallel
threshold; above it Parallel.For scheduler overhead is the accepted trade.
A Friflo chunk holds a whole archetype — parallelize by slicing chunks into segments,
never by chunk alone. Measure in Release only, using the Renderer2D phase timings.
- Rendering: custom batcher in `Graphics` (vertex buffers, layer→depth→texture sort,
atlas support); `SpriteBatch` is not used in engine code. Draw systems write vertices
directly from Friflo chunk iteration. Orthographic camera (one active per scene),
registered render layers (World or Screen space, optional Y-sort), AABB culling
against the camera rect before vertices are written.
- No MGCB content pipeline. Assets are raw files under `Assets/`, loaded at runtime
(textures via `Texture2D.FromFile`, fonts via FontStashSharp, ogg via NVorbis,
shaders precompiled by `dotnet-mgfxc` at build time). Game code references assets
only through generated typed handles (`AssetRef<T>`), never string paths.
- New engine functionality goes into the matching module, or a new
`MrGameEng.<Area>` library if it is a distinct area — never into `Core` by default.
- Every public engine feature must be demonstrated in `MrGameEng.Sample`
and covered by tests where logic is testable without a GPU.
## Code conventions
- Nullable reference types enabled, warnings as errors, file-scoped namespaces.
- Public engine API requires XML doc comments (English).
- Tests: xUnit, named `Method_Scenario_Expectation`.
## Memory (echovault MCP)
- At session start, call `memory_context` to load prior decisions for this project;
call `memory_search` before working on a topic that may have prior context
(e.g. "renderer", "transitions", "generator").
- Before ending a session where you decided, fixed or learned something, save it with
`memory_save`: decisions (X over Y + why), bug root causes, non-obvious gotchas
(e.g. Friflo/Myra API traps). Write for a future agent with zero context.
- Don't save what the repo already records (code, docs/, git history) or trivia.
