Game mechanics

• 3rd person
• sylized artstyle ?
• linear story

Challenge

C11 engine Custom engine

Build project

git clone git submodule update --init --recursive windows -> ./build.bat run linux -> ./build.sh run

TODOs:

• BUG: Camera is buggy - rotation feels wierd
• Setup player and terrain collisions
• Physics system
  • Have physics system setup (gravity)
  • System work with collisions
  • Integrate animation with physics
• Setup lighting
  • Attenuated light source
  • Specular
  • Bloom
• Implement the material system in glmodel
• Have a single thread be responsible for Opengl calls - PubSub approach ??
• Implement Kinematic motion control system modal
  • Include player rotation over mouse movement
  • Setup Debug view of the bones and weights for models
• Helper UI in debug mode
  • Axis visual indicators on the top right cornor of the screen
• Design a GUI library (good one)
  • textbox
  • Object selection with translation and rotation
  • UI improvement
    • Rounded corners
• Setup ECS for 3d (use existing implemented setup)
  • Have each object in the scene have a vectors visually represented

Completed Tasks

• Poggen: Relative paths doesnt work with ASSIMP, (possible fix is to write a wrapper around on how filepath are given to functions)
• Implement a flat platform and load basic humanoid model on top of it
  • Load platform
  • Load humanoid model
• Get camera working - looking around is an absolute mess
• Render terrain for the player to walk in non debug mode
• Bring Multi Threading
  • Check if threads.h helps with this
  • Worker jobs maybe ??
  • Async setup - for assets / compute heavy tasks
  • Make arena thread safe
• Arena allocator for better memory lookup
  • Implement Arenas
  • Cleanup the filepaths held after heap allocated - maybe have a specified areans to handle string allocations
• Design a GUI library (good one)
  • Simple gui tree setup
  • Margin and positioning
  • button
  • label
  • checkbox
  • slider
  • UI improvement
    • Padding styling
    • Margin styling
    • Layout (flexbox like)
• Helper UI in debug mode
  • A system to see where cameras are in world space for easy debug
  • Line drawing capabilities to know where vectors are pointing to
  • Have mouse scroll to move the worldview camera in debug view
• Setup lighting
  • Diffuse
  • Ambient
• Implement Kinematic motion control system modal
  • Implement a better hashtable (round robin hashing) - blocker
  • Load bones and weights
  • Setup animation system for the model
  • Implement movement for the model
  • Implement a camera that follows the modal
