KeyEngine - 2d & 3d Game Engine


Difficulty:
5/5


Hobby DirectX11 C++ game engine, with ambitions of evolving into a full fledged game engine in 98.13 billion years.

KeyEngine demo 3d sandbox


It is the culmination of a lot of subsystems I've been researching & building throughout my programming journey, many of them are presented at length in other posts.

Graphics : Direct 3D 11
 Local Lighting model: Diffuse, Specular normal workflow
PBR workflow : UE4's Metallic/Roughness - Base color, Roughness, Metallic maps
Decals : custom
Input : WinAPI & RAWInput, custom gamepad controller DxInput
Physics : Bullet Physics
Configuration files : inih, custom
Scripting : 
World/Level/Terrain loading, with Path Finding & NavMesh : Recast, Detour (probably, TBD)
Model loading : Assimp
Texture loading : DxTex, WIC
Font Loading : DxTk, WIC
Math : DxMath, custom
Development UI : ImGUI
In Game UI : Custom
Animation : Custom
Utility libraries : custom
Audio : XAudio2
3d Audio : X3DAudio
Multiplayer : WinSock
Logging : custom
Basic Gameplay ie entities, interactions, actors, trigger volumes : custom

I used Windows, Visual Studio and C++17 to build the project.
