a heavy emphasis on parallelization. It is separated into distinct parts, such as Rendering or Physics, each parallelized in a separate thread, with some parts offloaded to other hardware, such as a GPU. While any game can benefit from parallelization, computationally intensive games and simulations benefit the most. Being a library, one of the primary goals is an easy to use end-developer interface that abstracts internal concepts and processes as needed. While the engine is developed using
