<p>Crown is a complete and cross-platform game engine designed for flexibility,
performance, and fast-iterations.</p>
<p>It is not limited to a specific game type or genre; rather, it provides a set of
versatile primitives and tools that can be used to create a broad range of both
3D and 2D games.</p>

<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Crown is in active development and new features are added and improved all
the time; You can follow the development progress in real-time on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/crownengine/crown/issues">GitHub</a> and join the discussions on

<h2>Design Principles<a class="headerlink" href="#design-principles" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Crown is loosely inspired by the Bitsquid engine and shares with it many of its
design principles:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><dl class="simple">
<dt>Data-driven</dt><dd><p>All aspects of the game are defined via text-based configuration files,
which are compiled into native, efficient, platform-specific BLOBs before
shipping. These files are human-readable, making them easy to inspect and
compatible with traditional VCS and regular text-based utilities.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="simple">
<dt>Data-oriented</dt><dd><p>Data in memory is organized to achieve the maximum performance possible on
every supported platform.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="simple">
<dt>Hot-reload everything</dt><dd><p>Every game asset is reloadable at run-time, including code.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="simple">
<dt>Multi-process Editor/Runtime architecture</dt><dd><p>The Editor and the Runtime live in separate processes. The Editor helds all
the important data: if the Runtime crashes you can restart it without losing
any work.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="simple">
<dt>Lightweight Codebase and Runtime</dt><dd><p>The Runtime (plus tools) consist of fewer than 70K lines of code. Written in
straightforward ‘C-style’ C++, it is easily understood and extensible by
anyone.</p>
