class="markdown"><h1><a href="#game-engine-integration-unfinished" id="game-engine-integration-unfinished"></a>Game-engine integration (unfinished)</h1>
<p>To build a game using these ideas we need a lot of things that are well understood and already implemented: rendering a world, moving models of characters in a world, and so on. This collection of technologies which allow us to realise an interactive realisation of a world is typically called a game engine.</p>
<p>Its my intention that the bits that I add to the mix should be open source in the hard sense of that phrase, fully free software released under GPL. They cannot therfore be directly linked to a proprietary game engine.</p>
<p>But the current state of play is that the best and easiest to work with game engines are not open source; and while I could build a demo game using, for example, the <a href="https://godotengine.org/">Godot engine</a> or <a href="https://jmonkeyengine.org/">jMonkeyEngine</a> the result wouldnt be as compelling and <em>I believe</em> the effort would be more considerable than if I use <a href="https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US">Unreal Engine</a>, which is my current plan.</p>
