# Kakara Engine

The Kakara Engine is a hybrid voxel game engine that powers [Kakara](https://github.com/kakaragame/Kakara). The Kakara engine is a medium to low level engine that allows for versatile game creation in Java using OpenGL. While Kakara is no longer in development, the Kakara Engine still is as of July 2022.

View the Getting Started section for a tutorial on the basics of the engine. Additional sections exist for a more in-depth look at the engine and its features.

## Engine Versioning

The engine uses a `major.minor.patch` scheme for its versioning.

The development cycle of the engine happens in Pre-releases. These pre-releases implement new major features into the engine.

The engine is also marked with build numbers. Build numbers are automatically assigned after each build by Jenkins.

Put all together the engine can be versioned as: `engine-1.0-PRE5-23-SNAPSHOT.jar`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kakara.gitbook.io/engine/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
