Namespace AlphaFramework

AlphaFramework is a high-level game framework built on top of OmegaEngine. It provides an architecture for managing game worlds, logic, and presentation. Its design emphasizes clean separation of responsibilities.

Core concepts

AlphaFramework organizes game development into two domains:

World layer

For building engine-agnostic models of game worlds.

Universe: Defines static world data, describes what exists in the world
Session: Represents the current game state, tracks dynamic state and change

See AlphaFramework.World for details.

Presentation layer

Presenter: Translates world state into renderable objects
Game: Manages the application lifecycle and orchestrates updates

See AlphaFramework.Presentation for details.
