BitEngine

Entity component based game framework. The framework is being planned to be expandable and have a fully customizable pipeline.

This engine is being built for personal use and learning purposes. The API may change at any moment.

Dependencies:

• GLFW (optional, but you may need to implement your own drivers)
• GLM
• STB_IMAGE
• JSON
• GTEST For Unit testing

Currently supports:

General Engine

Resource Management

• Resource Loader => Providing async resource loading. May reload any resource at any time.
• Generic Resource Meta => May be used to specify details for any type of resource.
• Texture Manager => Default texture manager for OpenGL.
• Sprite Manager => General Sprite manager.

Task Management

• Easily create async jobs to speedup heavy tasks!
• Support task dependencies
• Execution thread control

Reflection

• Basic API for creating reflection data for classes, may be used to build a visual editor.

Graphics

• Generic shader interface to build custom render modes

Others

• Messaging available for ECS and all Game Systems.

Built-in component modules:

2D:

• Tranform2D
• Camera2D
• Sprite2D - OpenGL 2, 3 and 4 for 2D Sprite rendering.

3D: (in rework)

• Transform3D
• Camera3D

General:

• GameLogic - C++ class used to add some game logic functionality to entities.

Default Backends

• GLFW - Input and Video (OpenGL) Systems
• OpenGL 2.0+ - 2D Rendering

Plans:

• • Default 3D mesh rendering module
• • LUA support for a GameLogic like module
• • Android support
• • Audio

Building

• CMake - CMake will download and compile all dependencies for you.
