Genesis Device Engine Version 0.1

[Luuk van Venrooij]

Hi all,

Just wanted to say that after a year I restarted the Genesis Device Project. The new engine will be build from the ground up incorperating all the stuff that I have learned over the last year at the game compagny I currently work. I should note however that this is probebly not going to be a full fledged engine anymore but more like an extensive framework for demo`s and prototyping games.

Anyway here are the features for the first release:
- Basic logging
- Basic timing
- Basic error handling
- Window handling (set position, size, fullscreen etc. of the window)
- Viewports (add multiple viewports to a window)
- Cameras (add multiple camera`s to a viewport which can be perspective or ortogonal)
- Math library (extensive math library with Vector2f, Vector3f, Vector4f, Planes, Lines, Quaternion and Matrix4x4 functionality)
- Bounding volumes (sphere and axis aligned boundingbox)
- Intersection methods (between bounding volumes and other math types)
- Frustum culling of Bounding volumes

He qiaobu,

I`m currently working on some other projects and won`t update the engine anytime soon. In the current state it is pretty much useless. I can however give you some pointers in setting up your own project. Just PM me.

regards

First of all Thank you for your reply, my question is do not know how to ask you a question, I think my task now is to find some books to read to understand some basic concepts. I am wondering is how to organize an engine, that is what the engine contains the units to complete its work, through these days, learned from the books it contains rendering, math modules, models, etc., at this point you can What suggestions do to me.

i am sorry for my poor English.

Once again, thank you very much.
