Hi,

This is the first post, so let me explain what is the goal of this, and where am I at the moment.

This is a 3D FPS game engine project. It is not suppose to be great, but it should have the essential functionality that can support a game. I am trying to figure out what goes where, and reading books and blogs wouldn’t cut it anymore. Current status can be summed up as:

  • Window and input management using SDL2, multiplatform. (Regularly testing on GNU Linux, Windows 10 and Mac OS
  • Rendering 3d world using models loaded using Assimp
  • Dynamic shadow mapping for directional and point lights
  • Skeletal animations. To test animations first animation is run repeatedly.
  • Rigidbody physics using Bullet
  • Basic GUI

To sum up, you can build a map, run around in it, push objects.

I believe it can be used for a platformer if I can add these:

  • Interactive UI
  • A gameplay layer. Currently falling off an edge means you will fall indefinitely, and there is no push this button to activate door, etc.

For a more traditional FPS, we would need:

  • AI.
  • Guns + shooting
  • Pickups
