Add foundation for cross-platform hot-reload system by isolating loaded modules from source files using a temporary directory. Changes: - Add configurable tmp directory parameter to stk_init() (defaults to mods/.tmp/ if not specified) - Copy all modules from mods/ to .tmp/ on initialization - Load modules exclusively from .tmp/ directory - Clean up .tmp/ directory on shutdown - Add cross-platform file operations: * platform_mkdir() - create directories * platform_copy_file() - copy files * platform_remove_file() - delete files * platform_remove_dir() - delete directory and contents - Improve BSD kqueue implementation to detect file overwrites (adds individual file watches with NOTE_WRITE) This isolates the loaded shared libraries from source files, preventing segfaults when users overwrite mods using cp/copy operations. The actual reload logic remains unimplemented (marked as TODO in stk_poll switch cases).
stk (Stalwart Toolkit)
stk is a lightweight, modular toolkit for building games and game engines. It provides a portable foundation for dynamically loading modules, native or WASM, without enforcing any architecture or design choices.
It is designed to run on modern systems running POSIX and Windows.
Key Features
- Dynamic module loading (native
.so/.dll) - Hot-swapping of modules at runtime
- Optional WASM support for multi-language modules
- Developer tools: lightweight metadata, logging/tracing, and dependency management
- Minimal, portable API
stk is non-opinionated: developers control architecture, engine design, and game logic while relying on a predictable, lean foundation.
