📦 NuGet Packages Overview

The ALIS framework is built with a modular architecture to provide flexibility, scalability, and performance optimization for game development. Below, you’ll find an explanation of the structure and purpose of the different packages available.

Core Package

If your primary goal is to develop a game, you should start with the ALIS package. This is the main package of the framework and includes the fundamental tools required to build games effectively. It acts as the foundation, and in most cases, it’s all you need to get started.

Modular Architecture

The framework is divided into multiple packages to ensure clarity and scalability:

• Clear Responsibility: Each package handles a specific domain, such as graphics, physics, or ECS (Entity Component System), making the framework easy to maintain and extend.
• Customizability: Only include the packages relevant to your game, keeping your project lightweight and performant.
• Reusability: Packages can be reused across different projects without relying on unnecessary dependencies.

This structure allows developers to tailor the framework to their specific needs, focusing on essential features without being burdened by unused functionality.

Extensions

The framework also provides a variety of extensions, which are optional add-ons that enhance the core functionality of the framework. These are designed to cover advanced or specific use cases. For example:

• Graphic Extensions like OpenGL or SDL2 allow for advanced rendering capabilities.
• Cloud Extensions enable integration with services such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
• Language and Audio Extensions add dialogue systems, translators, or enhanced audio features.
• Physics, Math, and Networking Extensions allow deeper customization and control over game mechanics.

By including only the extensions you need, you can optimize your project and add functionality tailored to your game’s requirements.

🛡️ License

The ALIS framework is released under the GNU General Public License v3 (GPL-3.0), a strong copyleft license that ensures your freedom to use, modify, and distribute the framework while preserving the same license terms. Below is an explanation of how the license affects you as a developer:

Key License Points

• Complete Freedom for Video Game Developers:
  Any video game created with the ALIS framework is completely free and unrestricted. You are free to create, publish, and distribute your games without any licensing fees or royalties.

• Source Code Availability:
  If you make modifications to the ALIS framework itself or integrate it as part of a larger software project (beyond just using it in a video game), you are required to make those changes publicly available under the same GPL-3.0 license. This ensures the framework remains open and accessible to everyone.

• No Obligation to Mention:
  While it’s not required, it would be greatly appreciated if you mention or credit the ALIS project somewhere in your game, such as in the credits or documentation. This is entirely optional and is meant to help grow the ALIS community.

• Patent Rights:
  Contributors to ALIS provide an express grant of patent rights, meaning you’re protected from patent-related legal issues when using the framework.

• Copyright and Notices:
  You must preserve copyright notices and license texts when redistributing ALIS, either in its original form or as part of a modified version.

What This Means for Your Games

• Your Game’s License:
  The GPL-3.0 license applies only to the ALIS framework and its modifications. It does not impose restrictions on the license of the game you build using ALIS. You are free to license your game however you choose (e.g., proprietary, open-source, or public domain).

• Monetization:
  You are free to monetize games created with ALIS, whether by selling them, integrating ads, or any other form of commercialization.
