A friendly, extendable game engine written in beef.
Pile is a small game engine made in the Beef Language, similar to frameworks like MonoGame/FNA and directly inspired by Foster.
It focusses on handling and abstracting some of the basic underlying workings of a game in a reasonably extendable and performant way while giving you control about the structure of the actual game logic.
Pile handles platform specific implementations through three core modules.
The included core modules rely on
It also includes an extendable system for managing assets, a sprite batcher, UTF8 Unicode text rendering via SpriteFonts using TrueType fonts, performance tools and a logging system.
There are also some math structs, like Vector2 & 3, Point2 & 3, Quaternion and Rect (of integers) as well as some extensions to corelib classes, especially Math.

Help is appreciated, especially concerning supporting more platforms and core module implementations.
