description	Run or explain Frank.GameEngine samples—loops, NullInputSource, audio, and optional Aspire AppHost.

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.
