A game engine project that started as a simple learning project and now became one of my biggest projects so far! Therefore I try to bring new features every week.

Roadmap can be found in this link.

Coding Guidelines can be found in Polos Engine C++ Coding Guidelines.

Supported Platforms

• Windows
  • This is because I currently have a on the go solution for my sound engine.

To Build

You need:

• CMake minimum of 3.24 (You probably can use an older version and be fine with it, but i defaulted to 3.24)
• Any compiler that supports
  • C++20 concepts,
  • constexpr lambdas,
  • nodiscard(with message), likely/unlikely, maybe_unused attributes, is fine
• vcpkg (VCPKG_ROOT environment variable needs to be readily available.)

Current Features:

Fully functional Entity Component system:

• Add/Remove entities to the scene
• Add/Remove components to any entity in the scene indirectly.
• Iterate over the components with;
  • A normal SceneView, that allows you to iterate over specified components.
  • A CommonSet SceneView, a CommonSet is a feature I have developed for Polos that allows you to get together a struct that has the entity and it's desired components that are frequently used together. Inside a CommonSet, you can write specific functions that allows you to manipulate an entity's components without ever needing to touch them inside your for loop.

Window system:

• Open/Close windows as pleased inside the engine framework and the editor.

EventBus / Event System:

• Subscribe to any engine/custom event and bind to a member function inside any class.
• Unsubscribe from any engine/custom event and unbind from the member function.
• Create custom events that can be fired from anywhere in the code.

GUI support with ImGui

Memory management

• Almost all memory inside Polos is managed by custom allocators.

Sound playing

Editor is stil a WIP! So there is little to no progress on the editor.

Soon:

• A better Render API that supports 3D as well.
• Different graphics API supports (Vulkan, DirectX)
• A sound engine using OpenAL.
• Scene export for using editor as a standalone system for making games

More major/minor features and enhancements can be found in the roadmap
