## Overview

3DRadSpace is an early-stage Windows game engine and editor, with a C#-facing runtime and native engine services. The principal workflow is authoring or loading game assets, then using engine services to render, simulate physics, and produce audio during a game. The tree documents editor, player, graphics, scripting, and object systems, but sampled source only verifies selected asset, audio, and physics paths; uncertain connections are omitted.

Main entry points: [`3DRadSpace/Engine3DRadSpace/Audio/AudioEngine.cpp`](https://github.com/3dradspace/3d_rad_space/blob/master/3DRadSpace/Engine3DRadSpace/Audio/AudioEngine.cpp) (Audio engine), [`3DRadSpace/Engine3DRadSpace/Content/ContentManager.hpp`](https://github.com/3dradspace/3d_rad_space/blob/master/3DRadSpace/Engine3DRadSpace/Content/ContentManager.hpp) (Asset management), [`3DRadSpace/Engine3DRadSpace/Physics/NVPhysX/PhysicsEngine.cpp`](https://github.com/3dradspace/3d_rad_space/blob/master/3DRadSpace/Engine3DRadSpace/Physics/NVPhysX/PhysicsEngine.cpp) (Physics simulation), [`3DRadSpace/Engine3DRadSpace/FFI/Audio/AudioEngine.cpp`](https://github.com/3dradspace/3d_rad_space/blob/master/3DRadSpace/Engine3DRadSpace/FFI/Audio/AudioEngine.cpp) (Audio FFI)
