BNGine

Or how I learned to stop worrying and love...something.

An engine I'm writing in C++. Makes use of other repos of mine: 3dbasics and CppUtils. The CppUtils repo is added as a submodule.

Build Status

Linux Build:

Installing

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Benjins/CppUtils.git

Or run the following after a clone:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Dependencies

Ubuntu: pthread, X11, and OpenGL development packages

Windows: Uhhh...OpenGL32.lib? Windows dependencies confuse me.

OS X: Ha ha, there's no Mac version. yet.

Building

Windows: Run build.bat runtime to build the runtime exe, or build.bat editor to build the editor.

Linux: Run ./build.sh runtime to build the runtime exe, or ./build.sh editor to build the editor.

TODO:

(aka a bunch of ideas I really wish I could do. And I just might)

• Editor
  • Immediate-mode Gui
  • Object selection
  • Component editing
  • Saving/loading
  • better pan/orbit control
  • separate editors for different things:
  • prefab editor
  • material editor
  • particle editor
• Physics
  • basic Rigidbody simulation
  • Sphere-sphere collisions
  • Sphere-box collisons
  • Mesh colliders/GJK/Minkowski stuff?
• Gui
  • Have non-imm buttons
  • sliders (either imm or not, I just want some)
  • non-imm checkboxes
  • non-imm labels
  • non-imm string picker lists
  • non-imm frames/rects
  • non-imm scrollable rects
• Graphics
  • better shading model, specular, etc.
  • cube maps, sky boxes, static reflections
  • armature, animations
  • particle systems
  • lighting system w/ point lights, multiple lights, etc.
• Animation
  • Animation states, split track by time
  • Animation targets serialize
  • animation blending
  • IK stuff
• Networking
  • basic matchmaking server backend, just for testing?
  • Reliable and streaming packets, ACK's
  • Resolve id's between host/client
  • Player entity sync?
  • Packet design, spawning/destroying entities?
  • Smooth out network information
  • interactions between networked entities
  • ownership?
  • better packet design, pack bits better
  • test more than two players, join-in-progress
• Metagen
  • Collect coroutines into discrimnated union
  • Gui button actions, collect into enum and discriminated union
• Script integration
  • yield/wait for seconds command
  • Hotloading
  • Use metaGen system to generate script files
• MetaGen
  • Parse attributse
  • Parse enums
  • Parse functions/methods
  • Custom serialize/editor methods?
  • Or, knowledge of disciminated unions and enums
  • enums in editor
• Misc
  • Break out application entry point and platform entry point
  • Make XML unicode aware
  • Some kind of ref-counted unicode strings, like String/SubString
  • console menu with console commands
  • Substrings from Substrings
