Main Objectives

1. Rendering System

• Objective: Implement a versatile rendering system capable of handling both 2D and 3D graphics.
  • Integrate OpenGL for rendering capabilities.
  • Implement shader management and customization.
  • Support for various rendering techniques like shadows, post-processing, and more.

2. Entity-Component-System (ECS) Architecture

• Objective: Design and implement an ECS architecture for flexible and efficient game object management.
  • Define components, entities, and systems for modular game object composition.
  • Implement a robust system for entity transformations, behaviors, and interactions.

3. Cross-Platform Support

• Objective: Ensure the game engine is cross-platform, capable of running on various operating systems.
  • Utilize platform-independent libraries like GLFW for window management.
  • Implement platform-specific code when necessary for optimal performance.

4. Input Handling

  • Implement keyboard, mouse, and controller input support.
  • Allow for customizable input mappings and configurations.

5. Scene Management

• Objective: Create a robust system for managing and transitioning between different game scenes.
  • Implement scene loading, unloading, and transitioning mechanisms.
  • Support for scene serialization and deserialization.

6. Physics Simulation

• Objective: Integrate a physics engine to handle realistic object interactions and movement.
  • Develop a physics engine.
  • Implement collision detection and response.

7. User Interface (UI) System

• Objective: Implement a UI using ImGui.
  • Develop modulable UI.
  • Support for full UI customization and styling.

8. Debugging and Profiling Tools

• Objective: Create tools to assist in debugging and profiling the game engine.
  • Implement logging mechanisms for debugging information.
  • Develop profiling tools to analyze performance bottlenecks.
