PR00F's Game Engine
This C++ open-source game engine is being actively developed to make my games with it.
My primary game project is PRooFPS-dd.
Since the PURE graphics engine is part of the PGE game engine, their versioning is hard-tied and incremented together.
So whenever you read something like PGE vA.B it always implicitly means PURE vA.B and vice versa.
v0.4 Requires:
During this 3 years period since the previous release, all engine developments were on-demand as required by my game PRooFPS-dd which had the primary focus.
Change list:
- started writing engine doc in mediawiki format, and occasionally an online html version is generated from that;
- build: windows.h is now not included anywhere directly, instead PFL/winproof88.h is used with fine-grained control of exactly what portions we really include from windows.h and relevant headers;
- build: UnitTest.h has been moved to a separate repo: 455-355-7357-88;
- engine loop frequency, also called as target FPS can be set now, see
PGE::setGameRunningFrequency(); - added
PGE::setCookie()and revised shutdown for supporting application restart without starting a new process; - added a basic PgeOldNewValue class for holding arbitrary-typed variable with an old and a new value, revert/commit/isDirty() functions, very useful to decide if there is anything we need to send to network by the end of the game loop;
- added new classes Bullet, Weapon and WeaponManager that can be used in any future games for handling weapons;
- added PgeObjectPool for rapid creation/deletion of repeated game objects such as particle objects or bullets;
- input: added mouse button click handling in PureWindow;
- input: added
PGEInputKeyboard::isKeyPressedOnce()for handling single keypress-and-release actions instead of continuous keypress actions; - input: added optional
nFilterMillisecsargument toPGEInputKeyboard::isKeyPressed()to set minimum required time between 2 same consecutive keypress; - config: added PGEcfgFile for config file handling that can be used in any future games for handling user configuration;
- config: added PGEcfgProfiles for user profile handling, on top of PGEcfgFile;
- network: included Valve's GameNetworkingSockets library and added PgeNetwork, PgeServer, PgeClient classes for basic client-server model multiplayer handling in any future games;
- audio: included SoLoud and added PgeAudio class to be used in any future games for handling sound effects and music;
- graphics: all "PRRE" text has been renamed to "Pure" within functions, filenames, variable names, etc.;
- graphics: GUI: included Dear ImGui to be used in any future games for handling graphic user interface, exposed over the original PureUiManager class;
- graphics: GUI: PureUiText is now considered deprecated but kept to stay compatible with older applications such as the legacy PR00FPS from 2007;
- graphics: GUI: added drop shadow feature for PureUiText;
- graphics: added PureProjection class to be used for 2D->3D unprojection or 3D->2D projection calculations in any future games;
- graphics: added
PureMaterial::setDecalOffset()to support rendering of decals on surfaces such as bullet holes on walls.
Only PURE graphics engine improvements : occlusion culling, depth sorting, frame stats.
v0.3 Requires:
Only PURE graphics engine improvements : refactor, hardening, bug fixes, documentation, 1st performance demo.
The aim of the first release was to be able to run the legacy PR00FPS game with the new PURE graphics engine without touching the original game code.
For this a wrapper library was also written that translates the legacy API calls into new API calls.
The Visual Studio project file is included.
However, if you want to build or see example of integration in other projects, you should have the Visual Studio solution file including other relevant projects as well in PGE-misc repo. Follow the build instructions in PGE-WoW.txt.
