A small, positively-charged, middleware-based game engine for C#.
- Modern: Built using modern C# features and design patterns, Ion setup closely resembles ASP.NET Core in setup and configuration.
- Modular: Ion is a collection of modules that build on the
Ion.Coremodule. You can use as many or as few modules as you want. - Middleware: Using middleware, you can easily add functionality to the engine without having to modify the engine itself. This allows for easy extensibility and customization.
