## Overview

Interstellar Engine is a pre-alpha C++ game engine; the README’s stated user-facing result is rendering 3D content through Vulkan. The tree also includes an editor source file and bundled windowing, math, image, and OBJ libraries. The core source excerpt is empty, and editor implementation and dependency wiring were not sampled, so those connections are intentionally left unspecified; library presence alone does not establish engine usage.

Main entry points: [`InterstellarEngine-Core/Source/InterstellarEngine-Core.cpp`](https://github.com/capibaraengineer/interstellarengine/blob/master/InterstellarEngine-Core/Source/InterstellarEngine-Core.cpp) (Engine Core)
