Donate Build status Build Status

Acid is an open-source, cross-platform game engine written in modern C++17 with a focus on modularity and simplicity. Features are broken down into modules, modules can be loaded or unloaded from Acid with ease. Acid uses an Entity Component System that breaks entity features between serializable Components.

Vulkan is used as the only rendering API, as a result, Vulkan functions can be used directly in games, but should be avoided. Metal is supported through MoltenVK, eventually, DirectX will be supported in a similar way.

Acid is licensed under the MIT licence and is open to contributions, read Compiling to get started with development.

Features

This is a list of current features in Acid:

  • Multiplatform (Windows, Linux, MacOS, 32bit and 64bit)
  • Multithreaded command buffers and thread safety
  • On the fly GLSL to SPIR-V compilation and reflection
  • Graphics and compute pipelines
  • Deferred rendering (PBR, Simple)
  • Networking (HTTP, FTP, UDP, TCP)
  • Serialization (JSON, YAML, XML)
  • Resource management
  • Bullet physics
  • Entity component system
  • Particle effect systems
  • Event listeners
  • File path searching, and packaging
  • GUI and SDF font rendering
  • Audio systems (OGG, WAV)
  • Shadow mapping
  • Post effects (Lensflare, Glow, Blur, SSAO, ...)
  • Model file loading (OBJ)
  • Animations loading (COLLADA)
  • Image file loading (JPG, PNG, TGA, BMP, PSD, GIF, HDR, PIC)

Dependencies

Acid uses the following libraries:

Code Snippets

// Imports a 2D texture using nearest filtering.
auto guiBlack = Texture::Create("Guis/Black.png", VK_FILTER_NEAREST);

// Imports a 3D cubemap (face names defined in Cubemap.cpp).
auto skyboxSnowy = Cubemap::Create("Objects/SkyboxSnowy", ".png");

// Imports a OBJ model.
auto dragon = ModelObj::Create("Objects/Testing/ModelDragon.obj");

// Creates a sphere model with 20 latitude and longitude bands with a radius of 1.
auto sphere = ModelSphere::Create(20, 20, 1.0f);

// Plays a 3D sound (sound buffer resource internally managed), at (10, 0, 0), at half volume.
auto jump = Sound("Sounds/Jump.ogg", Transform(10.0f * Vector3::Right), Audio::Type::Effect, false, true, 0.5f);

// Loads a entity from a prefab file.
auto playerObject = GetStructure()->CreateEntity("Objects/Player/Player.json", Transform::Identity);

// Creates a entity.
auto sphere = GetStructure()->CreateEntity(Transform(Vector3(6.7f, 6.7f, -8.0f), Vector3::ZERO, 3.0f));
sphere->AddComponent<Mesh>(ShapeSphere::Create(20, 20, 1.0f)); // This will used the sphere buffers created earlier.
sphere->AddComponent<ShapeSphere>(); // Multiple shape components can be added to a single rigidbody.
sphere->AddComponent<Rigidbody>(2.0f); // Will be created weighing 2 units, this will find all shapes attached.
sphere->AddComponent<MaterialDefault>(Colour::White, Texture::Create("Objects/Testing/Albedo.png"), 0.0f, 0.5f,
    Texture::Create("Objects/Testing/Material.png"), Texture::Create("Objects/Testing/Normal.png"));
sphere->AddComponent<MeshRender>(); // A mesh renderer will render the material attached.

// Vector maths.
Vector2 a(3.0f, -7.2f);
Vector2 b(-1.74f, 15.4f);
Vector2 c = a * b;
float dist = a.Distance(b);

// Split a string by spaces.
std::string stringSource = "Hello world!";
std::vector<std::string> stringSplit = String::Split(stringSource, " ");

// Will run a lambda after 5 seconds.
Events::Get()->AddEvent<EventTime>([](){
	Log::Out("Hello world: %f\n", Maths::Random(-1.0f, 1.0f));
}, Time::Seconds(5.0f));

Compiling

All platforms depend on CMake, 3.11 or higher, to generate IDE/make files.

Cmake options (default ON):

  • BUILD_TESTS
  • ACID_INSTALL_EXAMPLES
  • ACID_INSTALL_RESOURCES

If you installed Acid using only system libs, then find_package(Acid) will work from Cmake. Versioning is also supported.
When using find_package(Acid) the imported target Acid::Acid will be created.
The ACID_RESOURCES_DIR variable will also be available, which will point to the on-disk location of Acid/Resources (if installed).

Vulkan SDK, OpenAL, and OpenAL SDK are required to develop and run Acid.

Make sure you have environment variables VULKAN_SDK and OPENALDIR set to the paths you have Vulkan and OpenAL installed into.

Ensure you are using a compiler with full C++17 support, on Windows it is recommended that you use MSVC or MinGW w64.

If using Visual Studio it must be 2015 or later. Use the Visual Studio installer and select both "Desktop development with C++" and "Windows SDK" if they are not already installed. Then on Visual Studio Acid can be opened as a CMake workspace folder.

On Linux Acid requires xorg-dev, libopenal1, and libvulkan1 to be installed. Read about how to setup Vulkan on Linux so a Vulkan SDK is found.

Setup on MacOS is similar to the setup on Linux, a compiler that supports C++17 is required, such as XCode 10.0.
