Description:
Ghost Engine is a C++17 based game engine which uses OpenGL as it's rendering API. The project files can be easily generated using premake scripts. It supports basic features such as rendering - drawing quads, textures, handling input, logging support, ImGui UI panels and viewports. Scripts can be written in C++ inside the project itself, and attached to entities.
Right now, this engine has been developed for the Windows OS only, with Visual Studio 2019 as the IDE of choice.
Implemented Features:
- Premake Setup
- Console Logging
- Event System and Events
- LayerStack and Layers
- Internal Key, Mouse Codes and Input polling
- Timesteps, Vsync, Delta Time
- Visual Profiling (uses Chrome Tracing)
- Modern OpenGL setup, using Glad
- 2D Rendering pipeline - VertexBuffers, IndexBuffers, VertexArrays
- ImGui, Docking, Frambuffers and ImGui Viewport
- Shaders and Textures
- Simplified API for drawing colored and textured quads
- Entity Component System
- Native C++ scripting
- ImGui Console Logging
- ImGui Scene Hierarchy Panel
- ImGui Properties Panel
- Scene Serialization and Deserialization using YAML
- Editor Gizmos
- Editor Camera

Note from the creator:
This project serves as a means for me to learning core engine development, graphics programming, mathematics and other stuff. This is formed by watching YouTube series on engine development as well as implementing my own little additions. This is NOT, by any means, an entire, from-scratch, all-by-myself, engine, as I am still learning what it takes to make a game engine in the hopes that one day I will be able to atleast create a minimum viable product all by myself.
