Open World Game Engine

---

This project is a learning exercise focused on building a performant open world game engine in C++20, with an emphasis on rendering optimizations and modern graphics techniques. It uses OpenGL for rendering and GLFW for window/context management.

Features

• Written in modern C++ (C++20)
• Uses OpenGL (3.3+) for graphics rendering
• GLFW for cross-platform window and input handling
• GLM for mathematics and vector operations
• stb_image for image loading
• Modular codebase for extensibility

Automatic Dependency Management

You do NOT need to manually install any dependencies.
All required libraries (GLFW, GLM, stb_image) are automatically downloaded and configured via CMake's dependency manager.
Just follow the setup steps below.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/game-engine.git
cd game-engine

2. Build the Project

Make sure you have CMake (>= 3.16) and a C++20-compatible compiler installed.

On macOS / Linux / Windows

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build

This will automatically fetch and build all dependencies.

3. Run the Engine

After building, the executable will be located in the build directory:

./build/GameEngine

Directory Structure

• src/ — Main source code
• include/ — Public headers
• shaders/ — GLSL shader programs
• documentation/ — Design notes and documentation
• build/ — CMake build output (created after building)
