How whotftookshadowflare/voidengine works

VoidEngine is a desktop game engine. Its principal runtime path is engine initialization and event polling, scene/object composition, then scene drawing into a render frame for rendering. Other documented-by-tree capabilities include input/window handling, audio, resource providers, and script engines (with a Lua implementation). The README gives no usage workflow, and source excerpts are partial, so links for unsampled subsystem wiring are omitted.
