Meteor Game Engine (Work in Progress)

Meteor is a custom game engine built in C++20, featuring a player and an editor. It leverages modern C++ and various libraries to provide a robust and flexible environment for game development.

Features

• Built with C++20 using the STL.
• Uses OpenGL for rendering and GLEW for OpenGL extensions.
• Supports model loading with Assimp.
• Incorporates ImGui for creating user interfaces in the editor.
• Integrated with SFML for windowing and input handling.
• XML parsing with pugixml.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• C++20 compatible compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang, MSVC).
• CMake (version 3.26 or higher) for project configuration.
• CLion (optional) for an integrated development environment.

Dependencies

• pugixml
• Assimp
• GLEW
• OpenGL
• SFML
• imgui-sfml

Installation

1. Installing Assimp

To install Assimp on your system, follow these steps:

• Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libassimp-dev

• macOS:

  brew install assimp

• Windows:

  1. Download the Assimp binaries from the Assimp GitHub Releases.
  2. Extract the contents and add the `include` and `lib` directories to your CMake configuration:
     • Add the path to the `include` directory using `include_directories`.
     • Ensure the `lib` path is available in the `CMakeLists.txt` or your compiler’s library path.

2. Installing GLEW

To install GLEW, follow these steps:

• Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libglew-dev

• macOS:

  brew install glew

• Windows:

  1. Download the GLEW binary package from the GLEW website.
  2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a directory (e.g., C:\glew).
  3. Add the include path (C:\glew\include) and the library path (C:\glew\lib\Release\x64) in CMake:
     • Add the path to the include directory using include_directories.
     • Add the path to the lib directory using link_directories.
