Introducing strongforce: an infrastructure for game engines

The strongforce library is a light-weight framework to build game engines. It provides a backbone for a powerful game loop and helper classes for efficiently implement new game components such as models, renders and simulators. Main framework features include:

•  Model oriented.
•  Decoupled simulation and render loops.
•  Real time simulation loop for integration with physics engines.
•  Separated read and write stages during simulation to avoid expensive model copies.
•  Versatile and dynamic visitor pattern to implement the Game Model Hierarchy.
•  Use of JavaScript functors to quickly implement simple renders or simulators.
•  Helper classes to ease implementation of Renders and Simulators.
•  Events for Model to allow asynchronous programming.
•  Fully control of the loop step and execution.
•  Careful separation of responsibilities allowing the developer to focus on data model, business logic and rendering process separately.

Strongforce is not a graphic engine, not even a game engine. It is only a proposal for a game architecture and a main loop. You can read more about the framework internals and philosophy of design in the wiki pages of the repository or further in this post.
