Game Engine

fastbird engine

'fastbird engine' was initially started for self-teaching purpose in 2013 and now I'm trying to finish a complete game with it. Currently the engine is martured enough to create a simple space simulation game and I'm continually updating new codes and funtionalities as I'm working on the game.

Compilation

You need these libraries to compile the source code. You can find the '.bat' files which helps you to set libary path environment variables easily. They are located in 'code/' folder.

• _FASTBIRD_ENGINE_DIR
  • Run _FASTBIRD_ENGINE_DIR.bat in code/ directory.
• FreeImage 3.15.4
  • Copy code/_FREEIMAGE(3.15.4)_DIR.bat file to your FreeImage directory and run. This will create a $(FREEIMAGE_DIR) environment variable and the variable is used in the project setting.
• Lua 5.2.3
  • Copy code/_LUA_DIR(5.2.3).bat file to your Lua directory and run. This will create a $(LUA_DIR) environment variable.
• Zlib 1.2.8
  • Copy code/_ZLIB(1.2.8)_HOME.bat file to your zlib directory and run. This will create a $(ZLIB_HOME) environment variable.
• OpenCollada
  • Copy code/_OpenCOLLADA_HOME.bat file to your opencolldada directory and run. This will create a $(OpenCOLLADA_HOME) environment variable.
• Bullet Physics 2.82
  • copy code/_BULLET(2.82)_DIR.bat file to your Bullet directory and run. This will create a $(BULLET_DIR) environment variable.
• Vorbis 1.3.5
  • copy code/_VORBIS_DIR.bat file to your Vorbis library directory and run. This will create a $(VORBIS_DIR) environment variable.
• Theora 1.1.1
  • copy code/_THEORA_DIR.bat file to your Theora library directory and run. This will create a $(THEORA_DIR) environment variable.

The project is being developed in Visual Studio 2013 Community.
