Features / Description
Nulstein is a to-scale model of a game engine that aims to do most of what it is a game engine does using a minimal amount of code. This came up while interacting with the demoscene and seeing that toying with a small code base is a good way to try things out quickly, make experiments, and start all over again every time you want. The project's motto is "if it is rocket science, you need Einstein. If not, nulstein should do." Climb on the shoulders of this giant and try to do something as simple as possible (but not simpler).
