VEngine

VEngine is a modern cross-platform C++ game engine built on top of Raylib.

The project is a long-term learning journey to understand game engine architecture, modern C++, mathematics, physics, and computer graphics by building every system step by step.

---

Vision

Build a clean, modular game engine from first principles while keeping the codebase approachable for beginners.

Rather than replacing Raylib, VEngine uses it as a rendering backend while implementing its own engine architecture, rendering API, mathematics library, physics systems, and editor.

---

Goals

• Learn Modern C++
• Learn CMake
• Design a clean engine architecture
• Build a mathematics library and interactive visualizations to understand the underlying concepts.
• Learn computer graphics
• Learn game physics
• Build an editor using Dear ImGui
• Support Windows, Linux and macOS

Getting Started

Requirements

• CMake 3.28+
• A C++17 compatible compiler
• Git

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/vikasAWA/VEngine.git
cd VEngine

Configure the project

cmake -B build

Build

cmake --build build

---

Visual Studio

Visual Studio 2022 has native CMake support.

Simply open the project folder:

File
└── Open
    └── Folder...

Visual Studio will automatically detect the CMakeLists.txt, configure the project, and allow you to build and run directly from the IDE.

---

Philosophy

VEngine is not trying to replace mature game engines.

It is built as a learning engine that focuses on:

• software architecture
• mathematics
• physics
• rendering
• modern C++

Every system is implemented gradually with clarity and education as the primary goal.
