lambdaengine

Free/Libre Open Source Game Engine written in C using Vulkan for high performance graphics

Requirements

• C compiler
• OpenGL 4.6 supported
• GLFW
• Vulkan SDK
• Ninja and Meson

TODO:

Core functionality

• File I/O
• Windowing
• Rendering API
• Sound engine

Modular functionality

• Hot reload
• JIT capabilities
• Lua (LuaJIT preferably...)
• Networking

Preferable

• Sandboxed components (SCRIPTS, NETWORKING, ETC...)
• Platform abstraction layers
• Adaptive graphics API detection, if the user has a lower Vulkan version, run the renderer at that version instead of crashing... potentially include a basic fallback OpenGL renderer, tier-2 support likely...
• Scalable multi-threading, we don't want to make the engine use all cores inefficiently, pthreads is the choice for Linux.
• Efficient memory usage, a good memory allocator would benefit the developer and the end user in terms of resource usage and performance, mimalloc seems like a good choice for now, runs well on Windows
• Windows support
• macOS support
