Below is a basic example of how to useArcane in a game:

#include"Arcane.h"voidUpdate(float dt){// Custom update logic...}voidRender(){// Custom render logic...}ARC_APIvoidEntryPoint(){auto* app =newARC::Application();   app->RegisterUpdateCallback<Update>();   app->RegisterRenderCallback<Render>();      app->Run();delete app;}

This example shows how to set up basic game loops with update and render callbacks using theArcane API.
