# Hecton-8 Deep Sea Noir 3D Engine — LLM Search Index
# https://llmstxt.org/

> High-performance NASA-Punk / Deep Sea Noir 3D underwater simulation and game engine built on Unity 6000 with C#, Burst Compiler, zero-GC memory layout, Hydro-X sonar propagation, and bathymetric depth physics.

## Project Identification
- Name: Hecton-8 (Hecton8)
- Lead Architect: Adolf Petushkov (marko1olo)
- Live Web Showcase: https://marko1olo.github.io/Hecton8/
- GitHub Repository: https://github.com/marko1olo/Hecton8

## Technical Stack & Engine Invariants
- Engine: Unity 6000 (6000.0.x), C# .NET 9, Unity Job System & Burst Compiler
- Memory Policy: Zero-allocation hot paths (`struct` unmanaged buffers, native arrays, no runtime GC spikes)
- Sonar Physics: Hydro-X Ray-traced acoustic pulse model with thermocline sound refraction and bathymetric attenuation
- Celestial Mechanics: Keplerian orbital mechanics for tide generation and diurnal subsurface currents

## Interactive Features on Live Showcase
