# 3D Video Game Engine with Java, CUDA, and DirectX 12

I'll create a comprehensive 3D game engine architecture that integrates Java, NVIDIA CUDA, and DirectX 12. This implementation will demonstrate the core components needed for such an engine.

This implementation provides a foundation for a 3D game engine that integrates DirectX and CUDA. It includes:

1. Core engine components (Scene, Camera, InputManager)
2. Object hierarchy with transforms
3. Basic math utilities (Vector3, Matrix4)
4. Integration points for DirectX and CUDA rendering
5. Sample classes for meshes and game objects

The code is organized into logical packages and demonstrates the core architecture needed to support both DirectX rendering and CUDA computations in a 3D engine context. Each component can be extended with more sophisticated features as needed for a full engine implementation.
