Sonata Engine

Sonata Engine is a personal project that demonstrate how to write a Game Engine Runtime.

It includes fundamental features such as Reflection, Serialization, Forward Rendering, Phsycis and UI.

The Runtime is implementation on multiple APIs for different systems.

The Runtime provides a common set of features that are platform-independent.

Plugins provide platform-specific and third-party implementations (Direct3D, OpenGL, PhysX...).
