Nebula Device项目的设计哲学

• Integration is better than implementation 外部集成优于内部实现
• Make extensive use of existing libraries – DevIL, Tcl, Lua, Python, TinyXML, D3DX, SQLite… 大量使用已有的库
• Throwing away source code can be good 扔掉源代码更好
• Modular architecture supports high  source code fluctuation 使用模块化架构来支持源代码快速改变
• When in doubt, throw away and rewrite 拿不准时，扔掉再重写
• Prevent unmaintainable code 预防无法维护的代码
• Small is beautiful 小一点，好一点
• Clear restriction to rendering, audio, input, resource management, scenegraph management: Nebula is not a game framework – check Mangalore. 对界面呈现、声音、输入、资源、背景图片的使用上都有明确的约定：Nubula不是一个游戏框架，参见Mangalore
• New Nebula releases often have less source code then their predecessors 每一次发布都比上一次代码量更少
