KablunkEngine

Personal project to develop a basic game engine. Currently in development, meaning features might be broken or not implemented yet.

Setup

Note: requires python to run setup scripts.
Run scripts/Setup.py to install required libraries python scripts/Setup.py
Run scripts/Windows-GenProjects.bat to generate project files.
Run scripts/Windows-GitUpdateSubmodules.bat to fetch/update vendor submodules.

Compatible with Visual Studio 2022, msvc compiler, and windows 10.

Required Libraries/Binaries (should be installed by setup.py)

• Vulkan
  • Requires VULKAN_SDK environment variable (again should be automated)
• Premake
  • Requires installation in %KABLUNK_DIR%/vendor/premake/bin/premake5.exe (again should be automated)
• Boost 1.84.0
  • Must be installed under C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_84_0/
• MSVC developer command prompt must be on system path
  • Example: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\
• Catch2 Test adaptor for Visual Studio (Windows)
