Add plan.md: roadmap from physics kit to a full xTalk 2D game engine#20
Merged
Conversation
A planning document (no code changes) describing how to grow Box2Dxt into "xGE", a modular 2D game engine usable both script-only and via a GUI editor: - Honest assessment of today's 4 layers and what the Kit already provides. - A layered target architecture (L0 native → L1 binding → L2 physics kit → L3 engine core → L4 editor → L5 runtime/export) where each layer is usable on its own and runtime never depends on the editor. - Design principles that keep it simple: controls are entities, native LiveCode behaviors are components, library stacks are modules — no ECS, no custom renderer on the critical path. - A fixed behavior/message contract as the public engine API. - A 7-phase roadmap (script-only engine first, then editor, then export), each phase shippable with a sample game as its milestone. - Cross-cutting plans for rendering/perf, standalone packaging, assets, input, save formats, testing, and backwards compatibility. https://claude.ai/code/session_018VCGPT8pLd7wQhnLKdZDEx
