+\ingroup feature
+\brief User-defined scenes
+
+Scenes can be used to implement game environments, and allow arbitrary game
+objects to be organized as part of the game structure. Scenes are implemented as
+derivative classes of Scene, which are added to the game using the SceneManager.
+Scenes describe the start of a Scene and cannot modify GameObjects during
+runtime of a Scene (use \ref feature_script for this purpose).

+\par Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to define and add scenes to the loop/scene manager
+in the `crepe` framework. Each concrete scene should be derived from Scene. In
+the example below, the concrete scene is named MyScene. A concrete scene should,
+at least, implement (override) two methods, namely load_scene() and get_name().
+The scene is build (using GameObjects) in the load_scene() method. GameObjects
+should be made using the component_manager::new_object().
+
+In the example below, two GameObjects (named object1 and object2) are added to
+MyScene. object1 and object2 do not have any non-default Components attached to
+them, however, if needed, this should also be done in load_scene(). Each
+concrete scene must have a unique name. This unique name is used to load a new
+concrete scene (via a Script). The unique name is set using the get_name()
+method. In the example below, MyScene's unique name is my_scene.
+
+After setting up one or more concrete scene(s), the concrete scene(s) should be
+added to the loop/scene manager. This is done in your main(). Firstly, the
+LoopManager should be instantiated. Than, all the concrete scene(s) should be
+added to the loop/scene manger via loop_mgr::add_scene<>(). The templated
+argument should define the concrete scene to be added.

+#include <crepe/api/LoopManager.h>
+#include <crepe/api/GameObject.h>
+#include <crepe/api/Scene.h>
+#include <crepe/types.h>
+
+using namespace crepe;
+
+class MyScene : public Scene {
+public:
+ void load_scene() {
+ ComponentManager & mgr = this->component_manager;
+ GameObject object1 = mgr.new_object("object1", "tag_my_scene", vec2{0, 0}, 0, 1);
+ GameObject object2 = mgr.new_object("object2", "tag_my_scene", vec2{1, 0}, 0, 1);
+ }
+
+ string get_name() const { return "my_scene"; }
+};
+
+int main() {
+ LoopManager loop_mgr;
+
+ // Add the scenes to the loop manager
+ loop_mgr.add_scene<MyScene>();
+
+ loop_mgr.start();
+}
+```
