Front-end is what user interacts with (3D rendering engine, UI, etc.)

ChanCity (The Game) is designed to have multiple front-ends for the following reasons:

1. CryEngine has better graphics than OGRE out of the box, brigade3 is even better
2. Having an API and some different compartments is always better than having a large blob as the former is easier to write, debug and replace if needed
3. LULZ
