Research direction

Start by reading the existing comments on the ContentSerializer, DataSerializer, and IReference classes, then map the core Engine concepts across the relevant csproj projects. Document the build system, serialization model, and overall architecture, with per-csproj README files where useful; done means the questions in the issue are answered clearly for contributors.

Description

content manual p2

As discussed on Discord server, it seems there's no real low level documentation about the core concepts of the Engine. It should be really useful to document them in order to contribute at the project, or at least as reference. For example concepts regarding the Build system and the Serialization of data in general. And the Big-Picture of Stride Engine (as mentionned @xen2 ).

Some questions in my mind :

  • What is the difference between a ContentSerializer and a DataSerializer ?
  • How is composed a chunk of serialized data ?
  • How the IReference interface works together with the serialization system ?

I am of course reading comments on all classes but I think there are some missing notions which seem to be important for me.

As another user mentionned on Discord, a readme file per csproj should be already a great start.

Thank you.
