cd serialization
cargo build --release

2. Build C++ Engine

cd core
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release
./bin/PrimeFluxEngine

3. Run Dashboard

cd dashboard
npm install
npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:3000

4. Run Editor (Optional)

cd editor
dotnet run

For detailed build instructions, see BUILD.md.

📊 Why This Project Stands Out

This project demonstrates:

• ✅ Systems Programming Mastery: C++ engine with ECS, game loop, and subsystem orchestration
• ✅ Cross-Language Interop: Seamless integration of 6 languages via C ABI, embedding, and IPC
• ✅ Graphics & Engine Design: Modular architecture ready for OpenGL/Vulkan
• ✅ AI & Behavior Systems: Python-based behavior trees for intelligent NPCs
• ✅ Data Safety: Rust-powered serialization with strong type guarantees
• ✅ Tooling Ecosystem: Professional editor and real-time dashboard
• ✅ Production Practices: CMake, Cargo, npm, proper project structure

Perfect for roles in:

• Game Engine Development
• Systems Programming
• Graphics Engineering
• Simulation & Robotics
• Multi-Language Runtime Design
