xe - x engine

A simple 3d (game?) engine written for learning purposes

building/hacking

xe definitely builds and runs on:

• Arch Linux
• Debian
• Mac OS X

xe might work on:

• FreeBSD/PcBSD

you'll need:

• cmake
• ninja
• glfw 3.1.2
• libgl
• libSOIL
• yaml-cpp

this project uses submodules for things like stb_*.h and simpleini, so you must clone xe with --recursive.

this is a standard cmake-style project, so do the cmakey thing:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -GNinja ..
$ ninja

ninja should produce an executable, xe. run this to start the engine.

thanks and acknowledgements

thanks to:

• the GLFW, GLM, and SOIL authors for awesome libraries
• John Carmack for writing the Doom and Quake engines (great learning resource and inspiration)
• Robert Nystrom for writing Game Programming Patterns, which has been an incredible help with architecture and design patterns
