FGL-Engine/README.md

Titor rendering engine.

• Written with c++23
• Vulkan Rendering API
• Uses Tracy profiling tool.

TODO:

---

1. Components

1.1 Models

• Polish model loading
• Add in editor model viewer (Render models as preview image)

---

2. Performance

• GPU object culling
• Better object storage tree

---

3. SLANG (CURRENT)

• Convert all shaders to slang
• Figure out SubpassInput grouping, If it's even possible(?)
• Finish slang compilation
• Implement reflection testing
• Implement reflection assertions (Assert classes are expected sizes)

4. Physics

• Implement common physics functions
• Implement CPU raycasts
• Implement physics tick system
• Physics components
• Editor viewers for physics

5. Cameras

• Verify multi-camera works
• Implement multi-camera viewer in editor
• Implement editor camera spawner

6. Editor

• Implement object spawner
• Implement component modification for objects
• Figure out how glTF does components saving/loading. If it even does?

Long term plans:

• Nanite-like implementation.
• Explicit and strict VRAM targets for certain settings.
• Explicit model loading control. ( Allows for better control of model loading )
• Scripts ( Eventually )
• Multicore focus.

Building

• Install vulkan sdk with vulkan 1.4 at minimum
• Clone w/ submodules
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -B build
• cmake --build build -j<THREAD_COUNT>
