This directory contains the production source code, native runtime, supporting applications, and benchmarks for Nitload. Most managed projects target .NET 8. The native project is built separately with CMake and provides platform and SIMD functionality consumed by managed projects.

Directory map

Directory	Purpose
`Nitload.Common`	Shared collections, memory management, threading, pipelines, platform abstractions, and other foundational APIs.
`Nitload.Mathematics`	Numeric types, vectors, matrices, geometry, and managed access to accelerated math operations.
`Nitload.Graphics`	OpenGL bindings, rendering infrastructure, shaders, textures, windows, and input integration.
`Nitload.Native`	C native runtime, GLFW/STBI integration, allocators, platform code, and optimized SIMD/matrix kernels. See its own `README.md` for native build details.
`Nitload.RegularAnalysis`	NGRA generic AST/token infrastructure, transitioning toward ε-NFA sequence analysis. Text Regex and its source generator are archived under `Legacy` and excluded from compilation.
`Nitload.UserInterface`	State-oriented user-interface framework and its incremental source generator.
`Nitload.TerminalDialogue`	Terminal user-interface components and an interactive terminal application.
`Nitload.Benchmark`	BenchmarkDotNet workloads for measuring selected runtime and allocation behavior.
`Nitload.Script`	Retained sources from the earlier EXPRESS implementation. The planned Script layer has not started and is expected to build on NGRA.
`Nitload.Model`	Placeholder project whose design is being reconsidered.
`Nitload.Tools`	Small retained comparison and inspection artifacts; it is not currently a buildable project.

Build notes

Build the native library before running managed components that require it:

cmake --preset clang-release -S src/Nitload.Native
cmake --build cmake_build/clang-release
dotnet build Nitload.sln

Managed library builds copy an existing native binary when one is available; they do not invoke CMake automatically. The test/StgSharpDebug executable explicitly enables the CMake build before managed compilation. Generated OpenGL files under Nitload.Graphics/OpenGL/Generated should be updated through the generator in tools/Nitload.GenerateGL, not edited by hand.
