TidyEngine is a game engine that was created for making games in a C++ framework. V0.2 moved away from SDL2 and instead uses GLFW for window and input handling. It uses glad and GLFW for fast modern OpenGL rendering. It also uses the stb_image.h header file for bitmap loading and for audio it uses OpenAL as a backend and libogg for loading audio files. Right now the only scripting that is supported is Lua scripting.

• All rendering is done through modern OpenGL
• Fully cross-platform, only uses standard C++ and cross-platform libraries
• Entity management based on the ECS architecture
• Lua scripting

Here is all the dependencies you need for building the engine:

• CMake, used for building the project
• assimp, used for 3D mesh loading
• GLFW, used for handling windows and the input
• glad, used for OpenGL rendering. (glad is already included in this repository)
• glm, used for vectors and matrixes
• stb_image.h, used for bitmap loading
• OpenAL, used for audio
• libogg & libvorbis, used for loading sound samples
• LuaJIT, used for Lua scripting
• Freetype2, used for font loading and rendering

• Clone the repository using the git clone https://github.com/AntiSC2/TidyEngine.git command.
• Install all the dependencies listed above.
• Change directory to the TidyEngine/bin folder.
• Run the command cmake -Wdev ...
• Run make inside the bin folder to build the project.
• Both a 2D demo and a 3D demo will be built by default. This can be disabled with -DBUILD_DEMO2D and -DBUILD_DEMO3D respectively.
• Copy the shaders from the shaders folder to the working directory you are using to run the demos.

• Clone the repository using the git clone https://github.com/AntiSC2/TidyEngine.git command or other method.
• Run CMake with the source directory set to the top-level directory and the binary directory set to the bin folder.
• Set Visual Studio as the target compiler in CMake.
• BUILD_EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCIES also generates build files for all dependencies, except for luajit, if set to TRUE. Luajit still needs manual compiling and moving of files. See https://luajit.org/install.html for more information.
• Generate the build files.
• Open up the generated ALL_BUILD.vcproj and build the project.
• By default this will also build most of the dependencies.
