Introduction
Alloy is an experimental game engine written in Rust which aims to recreate logic previously authored in my C++ engine of the same name.
In particular, this project exists to explore working with Graphics, Audio, and all of the fun linear algebra required for rendering.
Project Goals
The goals of this project are:
-
Abstracting the underlying rendering system: The user should not have to care if they are using OpenGL, Vulkan, or DirectX; but this should also be selectable on-the-fly. Shaders should be pre-compiled where possible, and internalized as high-level
Materialobjects. -
Abstracting the underlying audio system: Same as above; the user should not have to care if they are using OpenAL or FMOD; but this should also be selectable on-the-fly.
-
Support for both 2 and 3 rendering: The ultimate goal is actually to do 2.5-D renderings, where the world is "3D", but appears as 2D pixel-art. However, the engine should adapt to both.
-
Model scene graphs: Models should be able to be composed of multiple bones, which can be rendered via scene-graphs and handle bone logic.
