Game

Remarks

Six hooks, all optional, called in a fixed order the host documents and does not vary. There is deliberately nothing else on this type: no scene, no world, no content manager. Those belong to Vixen.Engine in Phase 2, which layers on top of this rather than replacing it — so an application that wants a frame loop and a window and nothing else does not acquire an entity-component system by accident.

This is also what makes the application-framework claim testable: a dotnet new vixen-app project derives from Game and never references Vixen.Engine.
