ToyRenderer is a simple/ small sandbox engine written in C++. I use it as a starting point for experimenting with different ideas and graphic techniques and for learning more about C++ and engine development. The engine is under construction at the moment, from the readme, to the wiki and the code.
It is made more for ease of use and setup than performance. I try to keep the code as simple as possible, avoid too many layers of abstraction and too many macros and templates.
You can have a look at the Wiki for documentation, which is in the process of being written, the engine is going through a testing phase at the moment with a simple 2D game.
Features that are already in the engine:
- Automatic window creation and an easy to use build system to create a new applications with the engine
- A Scene/ Gameobjects/ Components/ Transforms system that makes scene constructions and creating new components very simple.
- Camera with a fully integrated Renderer that renders the objects in the scene
- Material system with support for different uniforms and render settings
- Shader system with support for settings defined in shaders
- An Audio Engine with 2D/3D audios with a simple AudioListener, AudioPlayer and AudioClips setup
- Input Master interface with input mapping and key querying functions.
- Post Processing interface
- Procedural Skybox
- Mesh interface with procedural mesh generation as well as OBJ import
- Logging system with logging to both console and file
- Different Resource managers that take care of Assets memory management and lifetime
- A Time class used for profiling as well as animation and game logic
- Render Hardware Interface abstraction for potentially supporting more Graphic APIs
Main Features planned for future:
- Physics engine integration
- Event System
- Frustum Culling
- Profiling tools
- Simple Scene Editor
- Asset Serialization
