Game engine study project developed by KNTG Polygon, licensed under a permissive MIT license.
Currently it is in an early stage of development, thus backwards compatibility is not guaranteed.

Supported platforms

  • Windows 7+ with MSVC compiler (Visual Studio 2017, toolset v141 with SDK 8.1)
  • Linux with both GCC and/or Clang compilers (editor unsupported)
  • macOS with Clang compiler (rendering unsupported until we switch to Vulkan)

PolyEngine currently uses OpenGL 4.3+ only, but might gain support for other graphic
APIs (DirectX, Vulkan, Metal) in the future.

Alomost all dependancies are provided by submodules and are placed in PolyEngine/ThirdParty folder. Only Qt needs to be installed separately. They are:

  • Assimp - model loading
  • Box2D - 2D physics backend
  • Bullet - 3D physics backend
  • Catch - unit tests framework
  • Freetype - font loading and rendering
  • OGG Vorbis - audio files loading
  • OpenAL - audio playback
  • OpenGL 4.3 - rendering backend
  • RapidJSON - JSON parser
