Zinc strives to be as simple and expressive as possible, but there are still things to be aware of when working with the engine. This is a general list of things to look out for as well as ways to get around them.

1. Don't initiate Scene fields that have Anchor derrived objects with default field values.

Don't do this:

Scene with memebe anhor def

Do this instead:

inside create()

Scenes are not singletons and as such can be created/destroyed at will with many instances of them. When a scene is created, your fields will also get initied (per C#), but the objects you init wil get added to the Scene that is already loaded and set as your Engine.TargetScene, not the scene that they are a part of.

This is likely not what your intention is when defining fields on a scenes, so the proper pattern here is to instead defer initializion until the Create() function of a scene (See more on Scene Lifecycle here).
