XCFramework is a cross platform Game engine written in C++ with DirectX12, DirectX11 and OpenGL(WIP) at it's core for win32 platform. It also provides support for Xbox One and PS4 but sources are not uploaded.

• Rendering
  • Multi threaded rendering technique using render pools and deferred rendering
  • Reflection API, to fetch description of shaders and create respective layouts and slots.
  • Offline Shader tools to build the shader binaries.
  • All Mesh are Instance rendered
  • Vector Font Rendering
  • Mesh :
    • .3ds Mesh Loader - to read .3ds files created from 3D modelling tools such as 3dsMax, Maya. It parses the .3ds files and creates a XC_Mesh which is engine custom format and renders the mesh in the scene.
    • Assimp API to load the animated skinned mesh
    • Adobe FBX API to load fbx mesh formats.
• Engine
  • Custom memory management for better book keeping and faster alloc/deallocs.
  • Custom built in Intrinsic Math Library to perform Vector Math
  • Multi threaded resource loading
  • Custom Serializer - Runtime type deduction and object construction.
  • FlatBuffer API from Google to serialize JSON objects which allows easy scripting of data such as textures, shaders and other game assets.
  • Data Oriented loading of assets such as shaders, textures, gameplay data.
  • VR support - Realtime rendering of frames from engine to a smartphone through network protocols (using socks) and provides Virtual Reality in a split screen that requires a Google Cardboard. Accelerometer inputs allows the user to move the objects in the engine. (Working with Dx11 enabled. With Dx12 to come soon.)
  • XCFramework Editor - Runtime editor allows to edit the world, create levels, manage resources. (Non functional after Dx12 implementation. Stay tuned for this!)
  • World Manager - multi threaded world architecture that includes actors such as Physics actors, Light actors, Animated actors and various other actors that this world can load into and act as a container of these actors.
  • Terrain Generation from bitmaps.
• Networking
  • Server/Client implementation using win sock.
• XC Physics Engine - Custom physics engine. Provides bounding 3D objects, collision detection and collision resolver.
• AI - Integrated basic AI system to Non Playable Characters.

Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10586.0/10.0.15063.0 Directx12 supported hardware (If not, Warp will be enabled automatically by engine. But it might crash and is unstable). Directx11 supported hardware.

Run "Premake5.exe vs2017 --gfxapi="dx12" " through commandline. Launch the solution and build it.

After building the solution, you can either run it or launch it without debugger connected by - Copy the Assets folder to the bin// Launch XCGame.exe

Not required. Its already in the repo.

• Runtime reflection of shader changes without re-launching the engine.
• Include Motion Tracker to track user gestures and provide input system within the engine.
• Provide drag and drop of assets into the world and including within the package.

[Note : Builds with latest Premake5]
