Sparkle-Engine

Vulkan based deferred rendering engine for Windows and Linux

Planned

• Integrate Logger library to fix the current logging mess
• Shadowmaps & softshadows
• integrate Scripting language for main application logic
• separate editor and game view

Dependencies

• GCC/Clang/MSVC with C++17 support
• Vulkan SDK
• glslang package on linux
• assimp

Setup assimp on windows

• Build assimp for your MSVC version and copy it to desired location (for ex. C:\Tools\assimp)
• set Windows Environment variable “ASSIMP_ROOT_DIR” to the Path to your assimp folder
• clear existing cache for cmake (remove CMakeCache.txt or delete the cache folder)
• CMake should detect your assimp installation now

Build on Arch-Linux with clang

• Install build requirements:

  sudo pacman -S base-devel cmake vulkan-headers vulkan-validation-layers clang libc++ libc++abi libc++experimental glfw-x11

• Install assimp from aur, but make sure to select the package form aur and not extra

  yay assimp

• create build directory, configure with cmake and build:

  mkdir build && cd build && CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. && make -j4

• Done! Set a correct object file as level in settings.ini and run ./sparkle-engine
