Game Engine

WORK IN PROGRESS.

A small game engine written in C++20 using OpenGL.

The goal of this project is to learn and explore the architecture and implementation of a game engine, including rendering, window management, and engine systems.

Features

• C++20 engine architecture
• OpenGL 4.6 rendering
• GLFW window management
• GLAD OpenGL loader
• CMake build system

Requirements

• C++20 compatible compiler
• CMake 3.20+
• OpenGL 4.6 capable GPU

Installation of GLFW dependencies

sudo apt install libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev xorg-dev

Building

Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd game_engine

Sync submodules:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Configure and build:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Run:

./GameEngine
