A wanna-be game engine for learning purposes.
This project was started as a playground for learning DirectX12 but soon started to grow into a simple framework for games. It's planned to grow into a small game engine for RTS games. Since it is only for learning purposes I don't restrict myself to supporting different platforms or hardware, thus I allow myself to use the latest APIs/available hardware.
- DirectX 12.1+
- Windows 10 version 2004+
- Visual Studio 2022
- GPU supporting DX12 Shader model 6.6+
- Use the generated solution for Visual Studio 2022 located at
solution\- OR use Sharpmake to generate a solution for your Visual Studio version.
- The
Darproject builds the framework into a static library. You can test the current rendering capabilities of the engine with theSponzasample. - Resources(such as shaders and textures) are compiled via the resourcecompiler.exe located at
tools\resourcecompiler\. The resource compiler can be build via thesoltion\tools\toolssolution.sln. Examples come with.batscripts for building the resources.- Note that projects expect a certain file structure for the resources. They should be placed inside
res\folder, shaders should be insideres\shaders, same for textures. See ResourceManagerLib::serde for more details

- HelloTriangle
- Render a simple triangle
- ShaderPlaything
- An app in the likes of ShaderToy. Write HLSL shaders or load them from file. Supports simple render graph. See common.hlsli for "built-ins" like in ShaderToy.
- Sponza
- A simple app loading the Sponza scene for testing different rendering features. Currently written:
- Mip-mapping + block compression so textures are read as binary data and loaded directly to GPU memory
- Defferred rendering
- PBR materials
- Shadow mapping (for directional and spot lights. 1 cascade + PCF)
- Post-processing - fxaa, tone-mapping, gamma-correction
- Simple HUD rendering
