git clone --recursive https://github.com/Anoptic-Games/anoptic-engine.git- ECS: Easily create and manage large numbers of entities with dynamic properties and behaviors.
- Event-Driven: Design and handle events that occur in your games, allowing for complex interactions between different systems.
- Vulkan Renderer: Vulkan rendering backend allows for the most modern approaches in high-performance graphics, on all supported platforms.
- Custom Memory Allocation: Uses mimalloc as a fast malloc() implementation, and provides a rich toolbox of optimized data structures and specialized allocators.
- Modular Systems: Tailor the engine to suit your specific design needs using a highly flexible and extensible architecture.
- Cross-platform Compatibility: Develop games that can run with full feature parity on both Linux and Windows.
- Networking Support: Implement multiplayer functionality and networked gameplay with Anoptic Engine's built-in networking support, enabled by ECS and smart memory allocation strategies.
- Audio and Sound Effects: Create immersive audio experiences with support for HRTF and other advanced systems.
All builds of Anoptic Engine require sure you have the latest version of clang 17 and CMake. Make sure to include both of these in your path.
cd into the repository and run build.sh {build-type}, where {build-type} is 1 for Release, 2 for Debug, and 3 for Tests.
The resulting binaries can be found under build/{build-type}/.
Make sure you have CMake installed and in your path: https://cmake.org/install/.
Acquire a copy of the Mingw-w64 toolkit from the official website (https://www.mingw-w64.org/) or through a package manager like MSYS2. Ensure it's added to your system's PATH variable.
We recommend MSYS2 for the easiest installation process, which can be acquired here: https://www.msys2.org/. Follow Microsoft's documentation here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/users/platforms/mingw to make sure you have the Mingw-w64 toolkit installed and working.
Once Mingw-w64 is installed with gcc working on your system, go to the repository and run build.bat {build-type}, where {build-type} is 1 for Release, 2 for Debug, and 3 for Tests.
Vulkan rendering backend may have an incompatibility with MSI Afterburner / RivaTuner Statistics Server at this time. If you experience errors with the swapchain creation, please try disabling MSI Afterburner / RTSS and try again.
