Frank.GameEngine — samples
Direct run (single sample)
From repo root, run one executable project, for example:
dotnet run --project samples/Frank.GameEngine.Samples.Pong/Frank.GameEngine.Samples.Pong.csproj -c Release
Replace the path with the sample under samples/ (Pong, BouncingBall, Battleship, Fps, Hello2D).
Concepts (teach correctly)
- Two execution models: Raylib hosted/DI pipeline vs application-owned loop with
Simulator — see docs/architecture.md and docs/evaluation-technical-improvements.md.
- Input: Raylib samples that poll keys should use
NullInputSource where appropriate so global hooks are not duplicated.
- Audio:
ConsoleAudioPlayer is Windows-only; elsewhere use SilentAudioPlayer (see .cursor/rules/platform-audio.mdc and AGENTS.md).
Aspire AppHost (optional)
To build all samples and start one from the dashboard:
dotnet run --project dev/Frank.GameEngine.Samples.AppHost/Frank.GameEngine.Samples.AppHost.csproj
Do not start multiple windowed games at once unless you know they cooperate.
