Engine design

Gloria internally runs multiple asynchronous tasks/threads to separate event handling (mouse and keyboard), update calls and rendering. These tasks call onevent!, update! and render!, respectively, on objects put into the game world. Using multiple dispatch, behaviour can be added to objects, just as in an object-oriented design. The engine also comes with a (slightly experimental) rigid body collision system, allowing for game physics without external dependencies.
