OpenGL-based engine for creative programming in C++17.

Following packages need to be installed:

• libglvnd-dev
• GLFW3 (libglfw3-dev and libglfw3) not the wayland version!
• GLM (libglm-dev)
• eigen3 (libeigen3-dev)
• glad (python3-glad)
• gcc

Optional:

• glslang-tools (for GLSL code linting)

git clone https://github.com/thomasbbrunner/quadric-engine.git
cd quadric-engine
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
cd ../
./bin/quadric-engine

• Remove singletons and global variables
• Add right version to glad loader
• Formatting according to a standard (google style guide)
• Port geometries to templated classes and make generation of vertices run at compile time
• Make entire interface more like a library and less like a framework
  • compile as a static library (no main function, wrap in namespace quadricengine/qe/quad/quadric)
  • more control and flexibility to the developer
  • less time for implementation of new features
• Improve shader support
  • add debugging shader (fall back option, only geometry)
  • add support for shader hot reloading (automatic reload on file save, see C++17 std::filesystem)
• Clean up git history (tags)
• Improve Scene object:
  • Remove automatic merging of geometries, and save each geometry in a vector/array.
  • Instead, allow the creation of a new geometry from merged geometries, which could then be used in a scene.
• Re-add OpenGL ES support
• Do proper C++ casting
• Look into WebGPU
• Don't append all geometries together, scenes should be composed of different geometries. Appending geometries should be done by creating another geometry.
• Make code work properly under wayland
