LimonEngine

Limon is a multi platform 3D game engine mainly focusing on first person games. Focus of its development is ease of use and ease of study.

Feature Overview

3D rendering with dynamic lighting/shadows
Rigid body physics
3D spatial sound
Built-in editor with animation sequencer
C++ API for extensibility, and dynamic loading of extensions

For details check out the project web site

Prebuilt binaries for Windows, Linux and MacOS can be found here

Building from source on Ubuntu 18.10:

Step 1) Open Terminal, then copy and paste the following command

$ sudo apt install cmake git libassimp-dev libbullet-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libfreetype6-dev libtinyxml2-dev libglew-dev build-essential libglm-dev

Step 2) Since GitHub is limiting LFS bandwidth, it is removed. Cloning the LimonEngine repository should also include all data needed:

$ git clone https://github.com/enginmanap/limonEngine.git && cd limonEngine && git submodule update --init

Step 3) Next, we need to navigate to the directory run cmake:

$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../ && cd ..

Step 4) Finally, we need to navigate to the build directory, make the source and copy the Data directory to the build directory:

$ cd build && make && cp -a ../Data .

Running

Start up:

Engine take a parameter as path of world to load
If no parameter passed, falls back to ./Data/Maps/World001.xml

$ ./LimonEngine ./Data/Maps/World001.xml

In Application:

Pressing 0 switches to debug mode, renders physics collision meshes and disconnects player from physics (flying and passing trough objects)
Pressing F2 key switches to editor mode, which allows creating maps.
Pressing + and - changes mouse sensitivity.
wasd for walking around and mouse for looking around as usual.

In editor mode:

Since static and dynamic objects rigidbodies are not generated by same logic, mass settings can't be changed after object creation.
Inanimate objects are not allowed to have AI
You can create animations for doors etc. in editor. For animation creation, time step is 60 for each second.
When a new animation is created by animation editor, the object used to create the animation assumed to have this animation. You can remove by using the remove animation button.

Extending with C++

Limon Engine has 3 types of extensions:
- Actions for triggers and buttons
- AI for actors
- Player for Input handling
All uses the same API, but called upon depending on their type.
Engine tries to load custom extensions from libcustomTriggers.dll for Windows, libcustomTriggers.so for GNU/Linux and libcustomTriggers.dylib for macOS. If you use an customisation in a map and library is missing, that customisation wont work, but rest of the map will.
