About

My attempt of creating a 3D Engine suitable for creation of a small game. Pleace where I can experiment, learn and fail

Example project

A Chess game that features full set of moves for pieces. Including el passant, pawn promotion and castling. Gameplay is realised through mouse click detection with support of keyboard-triggered camera movement - find it here

Documentation

It is limited, yet kept in most recent version and distributed in form of apple's standardized doc. Helps to understand what structures are used in the project and examine relations between them. Click here to obtain it

Artifacts

Binaries are built each time a change is pushed to the main branch. Documentation along with the engine framework itself can be found here
