There are a few clean-up tasks that needs to be done:

• Uncoupling the debug panel
• Changed the location of the Settings class
• Clean methods and properties permissions (private vs protected vs public)
• Clean instance variables (underscore vs capitalized)

We should add a settings model which is serializable to/from an XML format, containing at minimum the following fields:

_fullscreen
_vsync
_windowedScreenWidth
_windowedScreenHeight

We should make sure that everything in the Engine namespace is uncoupled from the rest of the code.
This will allow re-usability between games.

This might require moving the engine to an entirely different namespace outside of Topaz.

Persistence of accounts via SQL or other db filetype, which is read when server is launched

We should clean up and refactor the game components which are all singletons at the moment.

Additionally, let's think about having a single BeginDraw method.

Classes to clean:

• Content
• Input
• Core
• Client
• Server
• Scene Manager

We should have an initial, arbitrary simplistic, version of the interface system.
This would include windowing and basic widgets.

In Windows, it seems like when terminating the game via the top-right close button or Alt-F4 with the server thread running, it'll keep running as a zombie thread.
