Libraries

The source code of 99Managers, should be a good starting point to create libraries. That should make it easier to create Free and Open Source management games. They will probably be separated in different cores:

• Organization: calendar, events, match making
• Simulation: physics, movements, determinism
• Procedural generation: for initial data and progressions
• Data lists: sorting, filtering, pagination
• Email/Dialog system: translatable news, updates, messages with response variations

This separation make sure that every core library can be used standalone. Not all games need the same functionality, so each library covers different needs.
