C-GameEngine

This GameEngine is based on a tutorial series and is a great introduction for beginners to OpenGL since I teach the basic concepts. Following aspects can be learned:

• Modern OpenGL
• Object Oriented Programming concepts for OpenGL
• Basic GameEngine features (e.g., Phyiscs, Shading and Component-Based Entity Systems)

Features:

• Opening a Window and setting its Clear-Color
• Shader Class
  • A way to load and handle shaders
  • This class registers uniform variables on their own
  • If the "Bind(shaderObj)" macro is used, the shader is automatically unbind after the scope it was bind to.

Dependencies

• SDL2
• GLM
• OpenGL
• GLEW

Development

Want to use this engine? Great!

The project files for VisualStudio (2015) are included in this repository. For a more detailled explaination see this video.

You may want to use other IDEs or Compilers; Therefore, add the Dependencies (listed above) to the linker and have fun.

Todos

• Write automated tests
• Add samples for each component of the engine
• Input Handler
  • Handle Key and Button inputs
• Assets Loader
  • We need a way to load all kinds of stuff with only one loader
  • Lets code a Asset Loader to store and load shaders, textures and models
• Component based entity system
  • A system to handle entities and their components
• Scene Handler
  • We need a way to handle different scenes
  • Extract main function into the game project where the scenes are registered and than the main loop is called
• GUI
  • A way to create a GUI for games
  • We need:
    • Text/Font-Handler
  • Window Handler
  • Event Handler
  • Image Handler
• Add Deferred Shading
  • A method that simulates light and shadow casts
• (3D Object MipMapping)
