BLIB started as a collection of code from various projects over the years suited for reuse. Since then it has been expanded into a large collection of code, both new and reused, that I intend to use as a small game engine for personal projects. Some of the key features include:
- Engine interface with state management and a configurable main game loop
- Framework for implementing game systems that are parallelized by default
- Entity Component System with entity parenting and dependencies supported out of the box
- A Vulkan-based renderer backed by the ECS
- Classical GUI framework and a Menu system suitable for controllers
- 2D Animations, an animation editor, and a collection of custom renderable shapes
- Utilities for encoding and decoding formatted binary data and JSON
- A robust logging system
- A custom script interpreter and a generic, reusable shift-reduce parser
- Thread safe resource management with automatic cleanup based on time since last used
- A collection of specialized containers and data structures useful for games
- Support for asynchronous resource loading with progress callbacks
- An event bus capable of efficiently dispatching any type of event struct across listeners
- A collection of other utilities such as signals, random number generation, a thread pool, and more
