engiX

engiX is an experimental 3D Game Engine based on DirectX11 and the high performance SIMD DirectXMath library. Its name is 2 parts 'engi'+'X' where 'engi' comes from engine and X refers to being DirectX based.

engiX design is inspired by the sample Game Engine that comes with Game Coding Complete 4 book, https://code.google.com/p/gamecode4/

Features:

  • Organized in 3 layers: App and View layers which are platform dependant, Logic layer which is platform agnostic.
  • Leverages the DirectX DXUT11 framework to simplify the App and View layer implementation.
  • Uses the high-perofmrance and optimized SIMD-friendly C++ math library DirectXMath for common linear algebra and graphics math operations.
  • 3D Scene management (under implementation)
  • Works with HLSL shaders model 4.
  • Keyboard Input handling.
  • Event based system using a centralized message pump.
  • The game actor architecture is component based, and an actor is defined as the aggregation of 1 or more component. Example: PhysicsComponent, TransformComponent, D3dMeshComponent, AiComponent, etc.. (under implementation).

3rdParty Libs:

  • DXUT framework
  • TinyXml2

Future Work:

  • .NET based 3D Level Editor.
  • Implement resource caching for game assets.
  • Support lights.
  • Support shadows.
  • Support Audio and sound effects.
  • Add support for XBOX One by implementing XBOX One specific App and View layers.
