	+	====== Audio ======
	+	Currently using XAudio2 for playback and the X3DAudio extension to calcuate the parameters for sound positioning.

	+	ISound represents a audio fragment: explosion, ambient sounds, background music, ...

	+	====== Data ======
	+	This namespace contains the basic classes for the ModelContainer system.

	+	Main idea is that all the data for the wizards gameplay is in 1 container.
	+
	+	A testcase for the modelcontainer is implemented, where data can be 'attached' to a modelobject. This relation is currently just a runtime organization mechanism.
	+
	+	The Addonattacher provides a mechanism for a multiple inheritance mechanism voor modelobjects :)

	+	====== Engine ======
	+	This class contains the crossover code from the NewModules to the Gameplay project

	+	The Wrapper classes provide access to the NewModules API features and are accessible trough a statically, but contextually scoped variable 'TW'.
	+
	+	The Engine is the core class that wraps functionality and manages all resources (caches for graphics, GPU, seperate gameplay datastorage)

	+	====== Persistence ======
	+	The Persistence namespace allows for automatic serialization of ModelObjects.
	+
	+	An IModelObject marked with the PersistAttribute will be automatically serialized and deserialized when the ModelContainer is saved/loaded
	+
	+	Currently, the entire Model is stored in a single line based file.
	+
	+	TODO: split this in some way? \\
	+	TODO: maybe remove the 'heading numbers', to allow for git versioning (like in The Witness, cfr blog)

	+	====== Physics ======
	+	Partial documentation! added later

	+	in Client.Physics is the logic to enable/disable objects using a quadtree.
	+
	+	Objects are divided in 2 categories: Static and Dynamic. Dynamic objects are objects that force other objects to enable their physics when the dynamic objects are in range. Static objects cannot move!!
	+
	+	The MeshPhysicsElementFactory seems to be the core class. You can make static and/or dynamic elements there

	+	====== Serialization ======
	+	Provides generic serialization for the wizards. Currently it only contains a StringSerializer, which converts types to strings.

	+	Contains stream utility classes for writing sectioned, line-based textfiles
