# La arquitectura en capas

Para entender cualquier parte de CrossFly, ayuda tener el mapa del todo. En esencia, **CrossFly es un
`ApplicationListener` de libGDX** — un único punto que libGDX llama para crear, redimensionar y
renderizar la aplicación. Alrededor de eso, el framework se organiza en capas.

## Qué hace cada capa
- **app** — tu código: subclases de `Window` (pantallas), componentes, reglas de negocio. Es donde vives.
- **ui** — la biblioteca de UI: **todo deriva de `Component`** (widgets, containers, estilos, layouts).
  Ver [Todo es un Component](/docs/concepts/everything-is-a-component).
- **core / kernel** — conecta la aplicación al mundo: el `Main` (el `ApplicationListener`) hace el bootstrap,
  entrega el input, dispara el ciclo de vida y carga la configuración de dispositivo. Ver [El ciclo de vida](/docs/concepts/lifecycle).
- **gl** — traduce el dibujo de alto nivel (`Paint`) en *draw calls* OpenGL, con un renderizador por
  primitiva. Ver [El pipeline de renderizado](/docs/concepts/rendering-pipeline).
- **serviços** — SQLite, device, map, etc.: módulos **independientes de la UI**, usados por la app bajo demanda.

## Por qué importa esta separación
- Programas **casi siempre en la capa `ui`** (componiendo `Component`s). Las capas inferiores son un detalle
  de implementación — rara vez tocas `gl` o hablas directamente con libGDX.
- El framework es **single-thread en la paint thread** (ver [La paint thread](/docs/concepts/the-paint-thread)): el
  `Main` llama a `create()`/`render()`/`resize()` siempre en esa thread, y toda la UI ocurre en ella.
- Los **servicios no dependen de la UI** — se puede usar SQLite o el device sin montar pantalla, y la UI no
  "conoce" esos módulos hasta que los llamas.

## El flujo de control, de alto nivel
1. libGDX crea el `Main` y llama a `create()` en la paint thread.
2. El `Main` hace el bootstrap (plataforma, runtime, config) e instancia la **ventana principal por
   reflexión**, llamando a su `onShow()`.
3. En cada frame, libGDX llama a `render()`; el `EventsProcessor` pinta la **pila de ventanas** (la del tope
   por encima) — pero **solo cuando hay una solicitud de render** (`repaint()`), no continuamente.
4. El input y el `resize` llegan por los callbacks del `Main`, siempre en la paint thread.
