A continuation of game engine/framework, fully refactored and re-structured.

Work in progress

Features

Core

• Custom Data Structure containers such as Array and Linked List (including fixed allocated), Map, Callable wrapper, Events, Promise and Future, Strong and Weak pointers - very limited reliance on C++ std
• Own Vector math library with Vectors, Planes, Volumes, Matrices, Quaternions
• Multi-layer File system with custom encrypted package format (EPK) and LZ4 compression
• Custom Lua script binding library (ESL) designed for engine data structures
• Custom memory tracking allocator (PPMEM) for memory leak detection and limited detection of buffer overflows
• Simple multi-threading job system (Parallel Jobs), allowing easy setup of sequences, synchronization points
• Integration with Concurrency Visualizer to debug multithreading within the project
• Component system for adding properties to game and non-game classes

Rendering

• Material system renderer with RHI backends powered by NVRHI & WebGPU
• Data-driven rendering of instances done on GPU (GRIM), designed for continous data streaming
• Custom full-featured 3D model format (EGF) with physics meshes and animation support
• Animation system with multiple layers, pose blending and controller features
• Debugging overlay for visualizing and console command system for activating various debug systems

User Interface

• Own Interface library (EqUI) for creating interactive in-game interfaces
• ImGui integration for debugging
• In-game console for fast console variables switching

Audio

• Scripted Audio System with use of nodes to enable control over playing sounds

Input

• Input system supporting complex multi-key binds, quake-like commands binding (+/-) and custom input handlers
