Liger Engine

Liger engine is a personal learning game engine, currently in the early stages development.

Build

Currently the engine works only on Windows and Linux. MacOS is currently not supported until MoltenVK supports Vulkan 1.3

Installing the engine

Linux & MacOS

git clone --recursive https://github.com/tralf-strues/liger-engine
./build_unix.sh {debug|release}

Windows (Microsoft Visual Studio)

1. Clone repository

git clone --recursive https://github.com/tralf-strues/liger-engine

2. Open the cloned folder as CMake project in MVS
3. Configure CMake in MVS
4. Build->Build all
5. Build->Install Liger-Engine

Create game project

python new_project.py --name "<PROJECT_NAME>" --path "<PROJECT_PATH>" --liger_path "<ENGINE_PATH>"

Windows (Microsoft Visual Studio)

1. Open generated project in MVS
2. Go to Manage Configurations and add the following CMake command arguments (this will definitely be improved in the future):

-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=true -DLIGER_ENGINE_PATH=<<YOUR_PATH>> -DLiger-Engine_DIR=<<YOUR_PATH>>/out/build/x64-{Debug|Release}/Engine -DSPIRV-Tools_DIR=<<YOUR_PATH>>/out/install/x64-{Debug|Release}/SPIRV-Tools/cmake -DSPIRV-Tools-opt_DIR=<<YOUR_PATH>>/out/install/x64-{Debug|Release}/SPIRV-Tools-opt/cmake

Wiki

Here I'm going to write short pages on the design decisions I'm making during development of the engine.
