Casqadium Engine

This is an ECS-based game engine for personal usage. It was born as a framework for developing small interactive applications and prototypes.

Listed below are engine's major initial design goals and requirements, some of which proved to be disputable over the course of development:

Builds on Windows & Linux into a compact static binary
Logic driven by entity component system architecture pattern
Fully serialisable runtime state
Human-readable entity & resource specification format (JSON)
Package system for bundling scenes & assets
Built-in GUI editing tools
Minimalistic style graphics (i.e. textured quads & low poly meshes)

Arch Linux:

pacman -S git gcc cmake libpng mesa
git clone https://github.com/casqade/casqadium
cd casqadium
cmake .
cmake --build .

Ubuntu/Debian-based:

sudo apt install git g++ cmake ninja-build xorg-dev libasound2-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpng-dev
git clone https://github.com/casqade/casqadium
cd casqadium
cmake .
cmake --build .

macOS (Sierra 10.12 and newer):

macOS workflow builds fine, but I don't have any MacBooks for runtime testing, so feel free to report any issues (or successes)

brew install git cmake

cd casqadium
cmake .
cmake --build .
