Documentation

Windows App SDK

Use the WinAppSDK to create beautiful, modern apps for Windows 11 that are backwards compatible to Windows 10 October 2018 Update (build 17763 / version 1809)!

Use your current installer (no requirement to use MSIX, but there are reliability/security benefits to using MSIX!)
Additive platform APIs (only add what you need, leave the rest of your app as-is)
Works with Win32, WPF, WinForms, and more apps

Vortice.Windows

Vortice.Windows is a collection of Win32 and UWP libraries with bindings support for DXGI, WIC, DirectWrite, Direct2D, Direct3D9, Direct3D11, Direct3D12, XInput, XAudio2, X3DAudio, DirectInput, DirectStorage, DirectML, UIAnimation and DirectSound.

This library targets .net7.0 and .net8.0 and uses modern C# 12, see CHANGELOG for list of changes between commits.

If you are looking for high-performance low level bindings, please visit Vortice.Win32

Entity Component System (ECS)

The Entity Component System is an architectural pattern often used in video game development. It facilitates code reusability by separating the data from the behavior. In addition, ECS obeys the "composition over inheritance principle," providing improved flexibility and helping developers identify entities in a game's scene where all the objects are classified as entities. One reason ECS is faster than a game object component system is that you put all the data you need together in the same place in memory. Doing so avoids the performance overhead of having to search around to find it.

NuGet Package

With the NuGet you can also only get the Engine with the NuGet Package Manager and create applications using the 3DEngine (w/o Editor) in a new project and implement all features via code.

If you want the Editor, this is the GitHub Repo for the complete 3DEngine.

dotnet new console -n Project
cd Project
dotnet add package 3DEngine
dotnet add package Costura.Fody
./Project.csproj

Engine usage:

sealed class Program
{
    [STAThread]
    private static void Main() =>
        new Engine.Program().Run();
}

Use the Engine.Kernel to get to the Scene System.

Solution

The 3D Engine contains three Projects:

3DEngine (Package)
Editor
Engine

You can compile the 3DEngine (Package) for the Editor and the Engine as a standalone.

As a Unity Developer, I've gathered a collection of top-notch assets from the Unity Asset Store. I plan to incorporate my favorite ones into this game engine when the time is right for implementing them in the creation of various games. Here's a list of some plugins that I'll be integrating into the engine:

Build

In order to compile, you need to install Visual Studio 2022 with the following components:
