JK-Game-Engine

C++ Game Engine made with OpenGL

How to Use

• Create new solution with JK-Game-Engine and a new project set to output an .exe
• add include directories for GLEW, GLFW, glm, ASSIMP, and the JK-Game-Engine src directory
• add library directories for GLEW, GLFW and ASSIMP
• add dependencies for opengl, glew, glfw, and assimp
• #include "JKGE.h" to link header files to main.cpp file in game project

main.cpp in game project

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <cmath>
#include <vector>

// Main include that contains all header files for JK-Game-Engine
#include "JKGE.h"

EngineManager* engine;

int main() {
	engine = engine->getInstance();
	engine->Initialize(1920, 1080);
	
	Scene* scene1;
  // Add GameObjects, shaders, and lights to scene1
	engine->getSceneM()->LoadScene(scene1);

	engine->Start();

	// --------- Test Initial Code -----------

	// --------- End Test Initial Code ----------

	while (!engine->getWindowM()->getShouldClose()) {

		// --------- Test Code -----------

		// --------- End Test Code ---------

		engine->Update();

	}
}

About

This project is a work in progress - Next Steps

• Custom Scene file format - allow for loading of scene by file instead of hardcoding
• Asset Memory Management outside of the Scene
• Expand Model Importing for GameObject Component System
• Collision Detection + Rigidbodies
• GUI
• Particle System
