GUInity Game Engine

Written on January 28th, 2015 by admin

GUInity is a 3D component-based game engine. It’s a personal project to better understand how game engines work under the hood, practice C++ in a large project and work 3rd-party libraries integration.

Challenges:

• Being involved in all parts of a game engine, from loading assets out of the file system to rendering and libraries integration
• Balance between bringing more features and optimization

Takeaways:

• Integration with several 3rd-party libraries (OpenGL/FMOD/PhysX/FBX SDK/FreeType)
• Cross-platform (Windows/Mac)
• Apart from the libraries, built the engine in C++ from scratch
• C++11 concepts
• OpenGL concepts
• 3D Math
