This is a small game engine project written to aid us in our Ludum Dare attempts! For the most part, it is written completely from scratch using only the available operating system apis
For this you will need the msvc toolchain for cl.exe. Once your environment is setup it is as simple as
executing the win32.bat in the root of the repository. This will build xid.dll and xid.lib to link
against.
Linux support is very preliminary and currently relies on SDL2. To build on Linux you will need
the gcc toolchain installed and it is as simple as executing linux.sh in the root of the repository. This
will build libxid.so, however you do not need to link against this as long as it is within the same folder as
your executable. It will be dynamically loaded at runtime.
Some of the engine features are listed below:
- Window handling
- Input handling for keyboard and mouse
- Audio mixing for music and sound effect playback (with layered music!)
- Threaded asset packing and loading into custom asset file format
- PNG images
- Frame-based animations
- Wav audio files
- OpenGL-based rendering
- Virtual memory arena based allocation system
- Counted string utilities
- File system and File I/O utilities
- Maths utilties for vectors and matrices
- Live code reloading to update game while it is running
Features to add:
- Custom render targets with custom post processing shaders
- Asset caching with change repacking
- Port to a 'better' graphics api
- Native Linux support, wayland and x11.
- Controller input
- Other assets, meshes, fonts etc.
- ... a lot more
