This assignment tasked me with taking an existing game engine and implementing new features that would make it easier for a programmer to use. I was also tasked with creating a small application to demonstrate the engine working correctly.
Key Features
-
The engine takes advantage of a component styled architecture. Each object within the game is made up of custom render, physics, input and collision components
-
Base engine class contains static functions to create new objects effectively
-
An Object Manager to update and render all objects
-
Procedural star generation for a dynamic aesthetic
-
Custom player interface that adapts to the players position
