Well, after a quick look on the naming used by JEDI JCL, they use Jcl as identifier, followed by unit name, then class/component name. For JEDI JVCL, they use Jv as identifier, in some cases only initial unit character is used. For class fields the naming is direct, no prefix.
So I agree with our CE prefix and the JEDI guideline for the rest.
Well, it seems like an interesting project you guys (and gal(s)) are undertaking here.
I'm sorry if the answer is written somewhere, but exactly how do you envision the final engine?
What sort of features do you dream this engine will have in a stable state?
It's a dead given that it will offer 2D/3D rendering, (basic) input system and other basics for game development, but what about the higher level stuff?
What's the overall arcihtecture of of the engine and a game developed with it? What kind of game object/entity handling will be offered?
Will the engine be more data driven and designer friendly versus focussed on just exposing functionality through an API?
Will there be an editor at some point?
What kind of engines would you like to compare this with? How ambitious of an engine do you want to create?
You probably haven't settled on many of these things yet, but at this point all I know is that you want to make a game engine. What that means to you I don't know.
Imagine I've written something clever here inspiring you to make something awesome. If that happens give me credits
As you have guested we still didn't firmly decided on what exactly we will put in the final engine.
So far the general concensus is that we make it object oriented and of modular design.
We don't plan of focusing the game engine to specific game genre in the first place. But modular design should alow you to quickly focus the engine to desired game genre by including or excluding certain features.
Modular design will also alow you to extend the engine with your own code if needed.
We are leaving an option for making specific editor but at first we want to focus on the engine itself.
What is our wish for final product? We want this game engine is to be able to compare with other comercial game engines out there like Unity.
But my personal wish is that we make this engine even better than Unity
Anywhay we are currently in making of a basic design document for the engine.
Naturally as soon as more firm decisions are made we will notify the comunity about this since this is a comunity based project after all.
