Chokbar Engine

The main goal of this project was to create a game engine from scratch by using DirectX 12 and C++.

Engine Features

Rendering

The Engine rendering contains multiple features :

• A custom shader system, we can create different shader class linked to different .hlsl files
  • Texture rendering
  • Directional lighting
• Each shader is bound to a material, bindable to a Mesh Renderer
• Particle system with custom particle shader
• Primitive Mesh creation and rendering
• Different renderers to render different types of things
  • Mesh Renderer for 3D models
  • Particle Renderer for particles
  • Skybox Renderer for skyboxes
  • UI Renderer for UI elements

ECS (Entity Component System)

The engine is based on an ECS system:

• entity with their unique ID and component signature
• component that holds the main logic of the entity (e.g., Transform, MeshRenderer, ParticleSystem)
• system registration is automatic by analysing the entity signature on each Add or Remove component

Physics

The engine incorporates a custom physics engine with:

• sphere vs. sphere collision detection
• space partitioning using a classic grid
• bitmask to determine entities that can collide with each other

Game Features

Gameplay

The game is a 3D space shooter where the player controls a spaceship tasked with destroying asteroids.

• The player can move in three dimensions without any camera lock
• Laser shooting capability
• Field of view changes based on the player's speed
• Waves of asteroids spawn at regular intervals
• The player can die and respawn

It's also important to note that there may be existing bugs.
