Seraph - ReadMe

Seraph is a 3D Game Engine, that is being developed by me, using C++, Vulkan and other online resources such as videos from TheCherno, Javidx9 and 3Blue1Brown.

Seraph currently has:

• A Memory Arena (free list allocater that manages a block of memeory stored in one large array, managed by linked lists).
• A basic 3D renderer (Takes data in form of Vertices and indexes, and uses shaders + Vulkan to simulate a 3D view onto a 2D screen. The renderer requires all data to be in triangle format. )
• A basic Shader that shades based on normal proximity (if the face of the object is facing you, it is brighter, if it facing away, it is darker.)
• Basic Mesh + object structure to store/manipulate grouped vertices and indexes more easily.

Seraph Eventually needs:

• Scripting (For when the game engine can be used to create games.)
• Entity component system (To better manage and control entity data).
• Physics (To simulate better object interactions.)
• Better/more sophisticated shading (Looks nicer).
• Scenes (management of grouped entities, and the ability to save/load scenes.)
• the ability to edit while running the engine (will greatly assist in debugging).

Currently I am:

• Intergrating Imgui for window managemnet + in-run editing.

Renderer/Shading Sample:

• The image above shows a sample of the renderer showing a rendered and shaded Utah Teapot.
