Lenga Engine is a modern game engine built around a high-performance C++ runtime with PHP 8.5+ as its primary scripting language.

It is designed for developers who value:

• Clear architecture
• Explicit systems
• Component-based workflows
• Fast iteration without sacrificing control

• PHP as a First-Class Scripting Language
  Gameplay logic is written in modern PHP, embedded directly into the engine runtime.

• Component-Driven Architecture
  GameObjects, Components, and Behaviour lifecycles (awake, start, update, etc.) are core concepts.

• Clear Runtime / Script Separation

  • C++ handles rendering, input, physics, audio, and memory
  • PHP handles gameplay logic and orchestration

• Runtime-Agnostic Design
  The current rendering backend is raylib, but the engine architecture does not depend on a single graphics framework.

Stage: Pre-alpha

Lenga Engine is under active development. Core systems are still stabilizing and public APIs may change.

Current focus areas include:

• Runtime correctness
• Deterministic behaviour execution
• Scene loading and lifecycle management

This organization hosts multiple repositories, including:

• lenga-runtime
  The C++ engine runtime (rendering, input, physics, audio)

• lenga-php
  The PHP scripting API exposed to game developers

• lenga-editor
  A future editor application for authoring scenes and assets

• .github
  Organization-wide documentation, roadmap, and contribution policies

Development follows a milestone-driven approach:

1. Core runtime & scripting
2. Scene system
3. Physics (2D)
4. Camera & rendering layers
5. Prefabs & object lifecycle
6. Input abstraction
7. Asset pipeline
8. Editor prototype
9. Build & distribution
10. Advanced systems

Detailed milestones are maintained in the roadmap documentation.

Contributions are currently restricted while the engine’s core architecture is finalized.

Bug reports, build issues, and architectural feedback are welcome.
General pull requests will open in later milestones.
