The Pelican Engine is a Vulkan game engine/renderer that I'm working on to learn more about Vulkan and game engines.
This project is currently very much WIP. The current master branch should be able to build and run without crashing. Of course, oversights might always occur.
The repository contains some dependencies that are added as submodules, so when cloning make sure to run this command:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/SeppahBaws/PelicanEngine.git
You can also update a pre-existing clone:
git submodule init
git submodule update
I use Premake to generate the project files, because it allows for quick and easy cross-platform and cross-IDE project file generation.
Although most of the code will probably work cross-platform, I have only tested the current code on Windows, with Visual Studio.
To generate the project files, please run the GenerateSolution.bat` file. This will call Premake and generate a Visual Studio solution, from which you can then build and run the project.
Important: for development, I also use Visual Leak Detector to detect for memory leaks. If you wish to not use this, please remove the --use-vld option in the GenerateSolution.bat file.
My main goal of this engine is to be able to make a small game with it, by utilizing an editor to edit all the properties, and a scripting system for dynamic gameplay elements.
