martinpalko/vanguardengine

A small (for now) game engine, created for fun and learning.

vanguardengine's Issues

Linux Editor

Get editor up and running on linux

Basic Input Module

Renderer2D sort by depth

Transform Rotations

Transforms should handle both 2D and 3D rotations in the most efficient manner, but be interchangeable.

Refactor job system

Specifically,

• Functionality should be moved out of frame, and into JobManager.
• Job manager should be a singleton, not static.

Update readme

Update readme with information on how to compile (current readme is out of date)

Entity Inspector

Entity inspector for editing properties & component properties

Fix memory leaks on shutdown

MAIN_THREAD_ONLY macro

Need a macro that will automatically throw an exception in debug builds (but be ignored on release) when placed in code that is called from another thread than the main application thread. Can then be used to mark non thread-safe functions, and bits of code.

TODO macro

Make a TODO macro that prints a message with #pragma message.

Move 3rdparty to external module

Asset Management System

Need a system to handle game resources (images, audio, meshes, etc)
This is sort of the start of the start of the asset pipeline.

Project Template

Handle Deletion of Entities & Removal of Components

Currently, there's only a mechanism to create entities, and not to delete them. Components can also be added but not removed.

Editor Selection Mechanism

Transform Hierarchy

Event System

Need an event system that runs between frame updates. Primarily so jobs can interact with other systems without requiring mutexes everywhere.

Fix Coverity build

Coverity build seems to be failing. Needs to be investigated.

Python Build Scripts

Use python scripts on top of CMake to allow customized builds, and different build configurations

World Hierarchy Widget

Implement custom crc32

Implement custom crc32 so we can remove the Zlib dependency of Foundation.

Implement handles for vanguard objects

Actor bounds

Need actor bounding box, should be a culmination of all component bounding boxes (if they implement them)

Property System

Need a propert/parameter system. A property should hold a value of a specified type, but also include metadata about the type of property, default values, limits (min/max), etc.

The goal is to use properties to serialize & deserialize objects, as well as to enable interactive editing of objects within the editor. Logically, properties should function in about the same way the reflection system does in c#. This means it will likely be tightly tied to the type system.

Scene System

Add the concept of scenes to worlds. Basically, a grouping of Entities in a world. Scenes can then be serialized, and reloaded.

Fix compiler warnings

Seperate game framework from Core

Game Framework should be seperated into a module.
This includes the entity-component system.

Entity Browser

Class browser for entities, allowing them to be placed in a world

Editor Events

Selection via viewport
