A game engine written from scratch using C++ and OpenGL

C++ Game Engine

My attempt to create a game engine. Thanks to TheCherno!

What this game engine aims to be:

1. A learning experience in low-level C++ programing and low-level graphics programming
2. Use Object Oriented Design patterns that C++ provides to make a clean interface to develop graphical applications with event handlers.
3. 2D only (for now)
4. Not Unity or Unreal

What's built

• The basic: window rendering, event handling
• A little more than the basics: 2D sprites, batch rendering, collision detection and physics, an orthographic camera

What you can build with it

• 2D platformers (like Super Mario)
• 2D RPGs (like The Legend of Zelda)

Credits and Future Plans

This project is basically a follow-along of this fantastic series (still under production as of 15 September 2020).

As of today (15 September 2020), I have to put this project on hold (academic + job commitments). I hope to get back to this as soon as possible.
