## Overview

WurfelEngine is a Java-based game engine designed for creating 3D games with isometric-style rendering. Unlike traditional game engines that operate as standalone applications, WurfelEngine is a developer SDK that requires programming and configuration through Java source code.

## Key Features
* Cross-platform
* World managment: open world map streaming and saving
* A fusion of isometric sprites and 3D graphis like normal-map lightning
* Day-night cycle
* Destructable environment
* Development tools like in-game map editor
* Split-screen support for local co-op

## Architecture

WurfelEngine is built on top of [libGDX](https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx) and uses [Maven](https://maven.apache.org) for dependency management. The engine follows a code-first approach where game logic and configuration are implemented directly in Java rather than through visual editors.

Wurfel Engine uses [Maven](https://maven.apache.org) for dependency management. It is built on top of [libGDX](https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx).
