Main Features

Real Time Editor

simple run time editor that allow to modify the properties of the objects on the scene

Multithread Resource Load

Load models, textures and sound esaily and fast using multithreading

//load
resource_manager.loadResource(
  ResourceType::kTexture, 
  "../assets/textures/box.png",
  "Box"
);
resource_manager.WaitResourceLoad();
 
//retrieval
const Texture& texture = resource_manager.getTexture("Box");

Resource load in depth

Blinn-Phong lighting and Shadow Mapping

Efficient directional, Point and Spot lights that cast dynamic shadows

Input

Simple action based input system

// create mappings
InputButtonMap input_map{
  {"Move", {InputButton::W, InputButton::UP}},
  {"Jump", {InputButton::Space}},
  {"OpenMenu", {InputButton::Enter}}
};
// usage
InputManager input(window, input_map);
if (input.buttonPressed("Move")) { 
  // Move up 
}

Input in depth

ECS

allows for custom components and systems providing a simple interface to iterate components

 void MoveSystem(ComponentManager& cmp_manager) {
  // Retrieve component lists
  auto& transform_list = cmp_manager.getSparseList<TransformCmp>();
  auto& movement_list = cmp_manager.getComponentList<MovementCmp>();
 
  // Iterate through the components
  ComponentIterator it(movement_list, transform_list);
  while (it.next()) {
    auto [movement_cmp, position_cmp] = it.get();
    // Operating with the components
  }
} 

ECS Depth

Collision

Bounding box collision detenction

if (coma::cols::collidesWith(BoxCmp& player, BoxCmp& enemy)) {
  // Code on collision
}

Collisions in depth

Sound

Simple system to add music and sound effect into your game

// Create the entity
component_manager.addEntity(
  nullptr,
  TransformCmp(),
  AudioCmp("Other", resource_manager.getSound("CivilWar"))
);
 
// Set the audio to play
auto* audio_cmp = component_manager.getComponent<AudioCmp>(audioPlayer);
audio_cmp->src.Play();
 
// reproduces the audio
SoundSystem(component_manager);
