RecursiveAI.OneGame.Audio 1.5.1

onegame

A C#-native game engine with no editor: a game is plain C# plus text assets. Entities, sync, rendering and UI are generated or enforced at build time by Roslyn source generators and analyzers, everything is NativeAOT- and trim-clean, and a command line, a C# test API and a live-control protocol (MCP) let you build, run, inspect, capture and replay games from a terminal.

It runs on Windows, Linux (X11 and Wayland, the Steam Deck), macOS, Android, iOS and the web (WebGPU). Clients and servers run the same stack, so state syncs between processes, with prediction, authority transfer and drift detection built in.

One class holds an entity's synced state, its commands, its deterministic simulation and its view. The generator writes the change tracking, codecs, deltas and snapshots; the analyzers turn the sim and view rules into compile errors:

/// <summary>A ship. Synced state is fixed-point and changes only through commands; the view draws it from art/ship.png and never writes state.</summary>
[Entity]
public partial class Ship : Entity, IView2D
{
    [Synced] public partial Fixed X { get; private set; }
    [Synced] public partial Fixed Y { get; private set; }
    [Synced] public partial int Dx { get; private set; }
    [Synced] public partial int Dy { get; private set; }
    [Synced] public partial bool Boost { get; private set; }

    [Command]
    public void Steer(int dx, int dy, bool boost) => (Dx, Dy, Boost) = (dx, dy, boost);

    // Runs once per fixed simulation tick: deterministic code only (no floats, clocks or I/O in synced state).
    protected override void OnTick()
    {
        var speed = Boost ? Fixed.FromInt(3) : Fixed.FromRatio(3, 2);
        X += speed * Dx;
        Y += speed * Dy;
    }

    // View code reads state and never writes it. The picture is an asset: edit art/ship.png while the game runs and it changes.
    [View]
    public void Draw(Draw2D d) =>
        d.Sprite("art/ship.png", new Vector2(X.ToSingle(), Y.ToSingle()), scale: 2, tint: Boost ? Color.Rgb(0xFFD080) : Color.White);

    [View]
    public string Label() => $"x {X.ToInt()}  y {Y.ToInt()}";
}

Getting started

You need the .NET 10 SDK and nothing else (a NativeAOT export also needs the platform's C++ linker: clang and zlib1g-dev on Linux, the Visual Studio C++ tools on Windows).

dotnet tool install -g RecursiveAI.OneGame.Cli     # the onegame command
onegame new mygame
cd mygame
onegame run --headless --frames 60 --json         # build and run; drop --headless for a window
onegame test --json                                # the scenarios in scenarios/
onegame export --target linux                      # or win, osx: a NativeAOT build in ./export

onegame new writes a project on the RecursiveAI.OneGame.Sdk MSBuild SDK, which brings the engine libraries, the analyzers, the development tools of Debug builds and the export targets from nuget.org, at the same version as the tool. Add --server for a dedicated-server project beside the game. Web, Android and iOS exports and plugin servers still need an engine checkout (see below).

Working on the engine: clone this repository, dotnet build OneGame.slnx, and create games against it with dotnet run --project src/OneGame.Cli -- new mygame --dir ../mygame --engine . (or set ONEGAME_ROOT to the checkout). Such a game references the engine's projects instead of packages.

Then read, in order:

• docs/first-game.md: the game onegame new writes, line by line, then run, test and export.
• docs/2d.md, docs/input.md and docs/assets.md: drawing sprites, shapes and text, input actions and rebinding, and loading files with hot reload.
• docs/tweens.md, docs/particles.md and docs/saves.md: animating view state and styles, particle effects, and save slots and settings.
• docs/driving-a-game.md: making a game, scenarios, replays, captures and live control.
• docs/ui-guide.md: screens, styling and the component kit.
• docs/exporting.md: Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, web and dedicated-server builds.
• docs/devices.md: checking a build on real phones, tablets, the Steam Deck and gamepads.
• docs/interfaces/: engine-internal contracts between engine areas, for people working on the engine itself; not the user guide.

Samples

• samples/solitaire: a UI-heavy card game.
• samples/bricks: a real-time brick-breaker with levels in YAML, power-ups and a high-score table.
• samples/lanterns: a networked 3D game on two island servers and a master, with players moving between servers and trades settled through the master.

Each sample has scenarios (onegame test --json in its folder) and a README.

Examples

One feature each, a few dozen lines, copy what you need. Every example has scenarios that CI runs, so none can go stale. See examples/README.md.

• examples/sprite: a sprite and shapes drawn from a view with Draw2D.
• examples/input-actions: one action declaration answering keys, a pad and the test harness.
• examples/tween: a tween started from code and a CSS style transition.
• examples/particles: a spark emitter plus a burst on a hit.
• examples/saves: a save slot and typed settings.
• examples/networked-counter: one server and two clients over UDP and WebSocket, with zero drift.

Build and test the engine

Requires the .NET SDK pinned in global.json.

dotnet build OneGame.slnx
dotnet test --solution OneGame.slnx

Build output goes to artifacts/ at the repository root; set ONEGAME_ARTIFACTS to put it elsewhere. Shaders are compiled during the build by RecursiveAI.OneShader.Build, and audio decoding and mixing come from RecursiveAI.OneAudio; both restore from nuget.org. Native AOT publishing on Linux needs clang and zlib1g-dev.

Layout

• src/: the engine, one project per area, the OneGame.Generators analyzers and source generators, and the onegame command in OneGame.Cli.
• tests/: one test project per area, plus OneGame.AotSmoke, a native-AOT app that touches every runtime assembly.
• samples/: the sample games.
• examples/: small one-feature examples.
• build/: the MSBuild targets games import.
• tools/: CI and device scripts.
• docs/: documentation.

Build rules

• Only our code ships: projects under src/ and samples/ may reference the one* family of libraries and nothing else, and the build fails otherwise (build/PackageGuard.targets). Test and tool projects may use any package.
• Warnings are errors, nullable is on, builds are deterministic, and every shipping project is checked by the AOT and trim analyzers.
