How I made my custom engine project modifiable by the players.

So, I decided I wanted my game to be modifiable from the ground up.

To make sure the mod tools worked well and were bug free, I decided it was best to use them to build the actual game.

So, when running the game, you have tools available …

With editor ui and a level system integrated, I can visualize my idea for stretching projectiles.

It roughly works like this:

The projectile end points are determined based on delta time, and the distance between them.

The model is offset and scaled so that we can use one tip of the projectile as some…

Projectile editor with IMGUI!

In order to visualize the frame stretching projectiles, I needed to create a projectile editor. This required UI and Level systems to be in place. So must of the work here is just code under the hood, but not a lot of visuals.

This will be used to determine which grid no…

 My spatial hash grid has the ability to look up collision shapes within a given spatial hash cell.

But I did not really have the ability to easily query a line of individual cells.

If I wanted to trace a line through the spatial hash, I would need a shape encompassed the entire line.

This was e…

To get better at c++, problem solving, vector math, programming, and rendering -- I embarked on a project to build a game from scratch in c++ and modern OpenGL.

The crux of this engine revolves around the collision system I wrote. Rather than use a library like bullet or PhysX I wanted to learn a b…
