## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2453, "days_push": 879, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
MxEngine is an open-source, general-purpose 3D game engine written in modern C++ with an OpenGL rendering backend and a Vulkan backend in progress. It is an educational, single-developer project distributed as source code with CMake build files and sample projects.

## Use cases
- build a 3D game in C++
- learn how a game engine works internally
- prototype 3D graphics demos with OpenGL
- create a custom game engine project from a template
- experiment with modern C++ engine architecture

## When to choose
- you want a readable, educational C++ game engine source base
- you target Windows x64 with OpenGL rendering
- you want to contribute to or study engine internals

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade multi-platform support or console targets
- you require Vulkan support today (still being ported)
- you need extensive documentation and a large community

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: graphics
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: 3d-graphics, modern-cpp, opengl, educational, vulkan-port, game-development, gamedev
