First real piece of M0 rather than scaffolding. GameWorld : IWorld owns GameObject creation/destruction, a type-indexed Dictionary<Type, HashSet<GameObject>> backing Query<T>(), and hierarchy bookkeeping (roots list, parent/children, cycle rejection on SetParent). Two corrections to the design doc found while implementing: - WorldMatrix can't be cached on Transform as described — Transform is a plain struct with no reference to the hierarchy it would need to compose against. Moved to GameObject.WorldMatrix, computed from the parent chain on read; docs/kernel-contract.md and the §3 example updated (go.Transform.WorldMatrix -> go.WorldMatrix). - The concrete World class collided with its own containing namespace (Engine.Kernel.World.World), which makes the bare name ambiguous for every consumer. Renamed to GameWorld; IWorld and the World folder/ namespace are unaffected, and the doc never named the concrete class either way, so nothing there needed to change. Also fixed a real correctness bug caught while writing World.Destroy: a GameObject can carry more than one component of the same type, so removing one from the type index has to check whether any others of that type remain before dropping the GameObject from the index set — tested directly (Query_Still_Finds_A_GameObject_With_A_Duplicate_ Component_After_One_Removal). 12 tests in Engine.Kernel.Tests cover creation, hierarchy (including cycle rejection), component add/remove/query, destroy cascading through a subtree, and WorldMatrix composition (verified against a worked-through parent+child translation, not just asserted).

Lingua Engine
A modular, plugin-first game engine built around one idea: the kernel is a shared language, not a shared implementation. Everything the engine can do — rendering, physics, audio, even the editor itself — is a plugin that speaks that language. The kernel only defines the vocabulary plugins use to understand each other.
Built for Linux and Windows, in C#/.NET, with two goals that shape every design decision:
- Fast iteration. No Unity-style domain reload. Plugins hot-reload their
compiled code without resetting game state, because state never lives in
plugin code to begin with — see
docs/kernel-contract.md. - A small, frozen kernel. Everything else — including the parts most engines treat as core — is a plugin, versioned and replaceable per project.
How this gets built
Most of the code here — kernel and plugins alike — is written by an LLM
coding agent rather than by hand. That's not incidental: it's a design
input. It's why the object model is GameObject/Component instead of a
hand-rolled ECS, why registration is verbose and explicit instead of
convention-based, and why the engine has a headless, scriptable
introspection surface no classic editor bothers with — see
docs/kernel-contract.md.
Status
Pre-implementation. The current design is written up in
docs/kernel-contract.md: what belongs in the
kernel, the plugin contract, the hot-reload model, and the build order
(M0–M4). Nothing has shipped yet — this document is the thing to argue with
before code gets written.
