Abstract
Programming game engines threatens to become an elitist activity with the industry split between the professional studios which are pushing for more direct but also more difficult to program hardware access and hobbyists using ready-made game-engines with little focus on understanding their inner workings. This paper presents an attempt to make game engine programming more accessible via a game programming framework which focuses explicitly on the programmers learning path in a similar manner to how video games are typically designed.
