lida engine

Features

• rendering with Vulkan API;
• custom voxel rendering algorithm;
• GPU driven rendering with frustum and occlusion culling;
• all memory used by CPU side is preallocated at startup(1 malloc for entire engine);
• probably one of the simplest and fastest Entity Component System out there;
• CVar system;
• hot loadable shaders, voxel models, configuration variables;
• efficient text rendering with FreeType2;
• builtin console(press “~”);

Build instructions

Build is done with the GNU Make program. C and C++ compilers are required (currently tested only with GCC). cd into repository and run make. This will produce directory bin with binaries in it. To build successfully following libraries are required:

• SDL2
• freetype

Currently we use pkg-config to detect these libraries. When running Vulkan driver should be installed.

NOTE: as engine is in active development it’s build process is only tested on my Arch Linux machine.
