Anitra Engine

A data-oriented game engine built with C++ 20, Imgui and GLFW.

Overview

Anitra Engine is designed with performance and flexibility in mind, utilizing data-oriented design principles to create an efficient and scalable architecture. Built using C++ 20 and GLFW for cross-platform window management and input handling.

Features

Current features:

• Data-oriented architecture for optimal performance
• Cross-platform support via GLFW
• Modern OpenGL rendering
• Entity-component system
• DLL hot reloading

Planned features:

• ImGui integration for debug UI and tools
• glTF support for 3D model loading
• STB libraries integration for image loading and data structure containers
• Expanded hot reloading capabilities

Prerequisites

• CMake (version 3.12 or higher)
• Visual Studio 2022

Building

This project uses CMake as its build system. To build the project:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/anitra-engine.git

2. Generate the project files:

   cd anitra-engine
   ./generate.bat

3. Build the project:

   ./build.bat

Project Structure

this is at a high level the design that I have in mind for the engine
