feature: using Coral instead

[sheazywi]

For the moment what I'll do is that I will put everything already added and put more if I want to sometime.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Introduced a new managed scripting runtime, replacing Mono with Coral for improved script integration and performance.
  • Added comprehensive math and vector utility classes, including 2D/3D/4D vectors, matrices, interpolation, and random number generation.
  • Enabled script asset importing, serialization, and management, including support for script file assets and script field serialization.
  • Enhanced scene and entity management with new methods for querying entities by tag or ID, managing physics gravity, and handling scene transitions.
  • Expanded input handling with additional mouse and keyboard methods, and improved application frame timing metrics.
  • Added new editor features including improved script assignment UI, drag-and-drop script asset support, and context menu options for entity creation and deletion.

• Improvements

  • Refactored the scripting engine for better metadata, script field, and instance management.
  • Improved component and entity APIs, including robust component caching, lifecycle handling, and extended property access.
  • Enhanced build system to support the new Coral runtime and updated .NET versions.
  • Improved serialization and deserialization of script components, supporting both new and legacy formats.

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issues with script field persistence and compatibility during project and scene reloads.
  • Corrected asset type handling for script and audio files throughout the asset management and import pipeline.

• Chores

  • Updated dependencies and project configuration to integrate the Coral runtime and remove obsolete Mono references.
  • Cleaned up unused includes, redundant code, and improved header organization for clarity and maintainability.

• Documentation

  • Added detailed comments and clarified intent in new and refactored classes, especially for scripting and math utilities.

This update brings significant improvements to scripting, scene management, editor usability, and engine extensibility.

Walkthrough

This update replaces the previous Mono-based scripting integration in StarEngine with the Coral managed runtime. It introduces new math and vector types, refactors the scripting engine and glue code to use Coral, overhauls script metadata and field storage, and adds support for script asset importing. Numerous build scripts and project files are updated to reference Coral. The entity/component system and serialization logic are enhanced for script field handling and editor integration.

Poem

A rabbit hopped through Coral's gate,
Bidding Mono a gentle adieu,
With vectors, math, and scripts anew,
The engine now can calculate,
And script its world, both fast and true!
So code on, friends, with fluffy cheer—
The future's bright, the carrot's near! 🥕
