Vulkan Engine

Thank you to Brendon Galea and Beauman Vienna for they contributions and help that became the foundation for this project.

Lucre

A Vulkan Render Engine

Features:

• A Vulkan renderer with support for 2D and 3D scenes
• Support for 3D file formats Obj Wavefront, glTF, and FBX
• Physically-based rendering (PBR), materials based on Blender's roughness-metallic workflow, normal mapping
• Point lights, directional lights with shadows, and deferred shading, instancing of models on the GPU
• Post-processing (Bloom), skeletal animations
• Scene management with scene descriptions, background loading, and scene saving
• Sound support and desktop volume settings (Linux only)
• Hotplug gamepad support based on SDL2 and a controller database
• Cross-platform resource system (Windows/Linux)
• Particle system
• Event system for mouse, keyboard, controller, window, and game events
• Settings manager and a message logger
• Entity component system based on EnTT
• Physics simulator based on Box2D
• In-game GUI with two themes and debug GUI based on ImGUI
• Sprite sheets, a sprite sheet generator, sprite sheet animations
• Render-API abstraction and engine/application separation
• Profiling JSON output file for chrome://tracing
  

Usage:

• Press "f" to toggle fullscreen and "m" to toggle the debug imgui window.
• Use the left and right sticks on the controller to move some objects around and scale them.
• Use the AWSD keys to move the camera. Q and E are for up and down
• Use the arrow keys to look around.
• Use the mouse wheel to zoom.
• The A button plays a test sound.
• Press ESC or the guide button on the controller to exit.
• Press "g" to fire the volcano and "r" to reset the scene.
  To blacklist a GPU, enter its name or a substring in engine.cfg.

How to clone the repository

The repository contains larger 3D files and git may abort its download. If you experience this problem, follow these instructions.

In particular, add these lines to your global git configuration file, which is .gitconfig in your user home directory (~/.gitconfig), in order to fix this problem:

[core]
    packedGitLimit = 512m
    packedGitWindowSize = 512m
[pack]
    deltaCacheSize = 2047m
    packSizeLimit = 2047m
    windowMemory = 2047m

Then run:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/beaumanvienna/vulkan

Build Instructions

Ubuntu Build Instructions

Open a terminal

(Info: ppa:beauman/marley provides premake5)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beauman/marley
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install premake5 git build-essential xorg-dev libxrandr-dev libvulkan-dev libpulse-dev
sudo apt install libibus-1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libsamplerate0-dev libasound2-dev libudev-dev

Get the Vulkan SDK from here:
https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/view/latest/linux/getting_started_ubuntu.html

Install the source code:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/beaumanvienna/vulkan
cd vulkan

Create project files for gcc:

premake5 gmake2

Define the number of CPU cores to be used for compiling
e.g. "-j4"
To use all available CPU cores, say:

export MAKEFLAGS=-j$(nproc)

You may want to add the export MAKEFLAGS=-j$(nproc) command to ~/.bashrc to always use multiple CPU cores for compiling a makefile.


Compile and run debug target:

make verbose=1 && ./bin/Debug/lucre

Compile and run release target:

make config=release verbose=1 && ./bin/Release/lucre

MacOSX Build Instructions

Install Dependencies

Download and install MacOS Vulkan sdk
Download and install Homebrew

Open a terminal

To install Xcode, type git

Install dependencies (note that premake5 is installed as premake, but called in the terminal as premake5):

brew install premake glib gtk+ sfml sdl2 sdl2_mixer libvorbis libogg glfw

Install the source code:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/beaumanvienna/vulkan
cd vulkan

Create project files for clang:

premake5 gmake2

Define the number of CPU cores to be used for compiling
e.g. "-j8" to use eight CPU cores
To use all available CPU cores, say:

export MAKEFLAGS=-j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)

To find out, how many cores your Mac has, say:

sysctl -n hw.ncpu

You may want to add the export MAKEFLAGS=-j8 command to ~/.zshrc to always use multiple CPU cores for compiling a makefile.


Compile and run debug target:

make verbose=1 && ./bin/Debug/lucre

Compile and run release target:

make config=release verbose=1 && ./bin/Release/lucre

Windows Build Instructions

Dependencies: gitbash, premake5, Visual Studio

Download the Vulkan SDK from lunarg.com, install it, then copy "C:\VulkanSDK\1.3.204.1" (path and version may differ) to vendor/VulkanSDK. The version number is omitted in the path.


Open gitbash


Install the source code:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/beaumanvienna/vulkan
cd vulkan

If you have Visual Studio 2022:

premake5.exe vs2022

If you have Visual Studio 2022, use instead:

premake5.exe vs2022

Open the solution for Vulkan, switch to Release, and hit F5

Clean Instruction

To clean all temporary files (including the spv-files, engine.cfg, imgui.ini, and the scene files in the top directory), use:

premake5 clean

Update Instruction

To pull in the latest changes for the repository, use:

git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive
