Moonhare Engine

Game Engine written in Rust

(Currently this is just a fun side project, sooo if this engine works eventually, use it at your own risk :D)

My Goals

• make a somewhat simple (mainly 3D) Game Engine
• provide some abstraction so that for example different graphics APIs could be used
  • focus is on OpenGL
• allow Scripting via C#
• learn a metric ton about rust, game engine architecture and graphics programming :3

Blog

On my Blog I'm writing a series about building this engine. So far these parts have been published:

• Writing a Game Engine is a stupid idea - lets do it!

Architecture:

Crates

• MoonhareECS
  • Entity Component System, (still debating with me if I want a proper ECS or not, current system takes inspiration from it though)
• MoonhareEngine
• MoonhareEvent
• MoonhareGame
  • core Engine functionality
• MoonhareGraphics
  • provides integration for GLFW with Glium (OpenGL)
  • Abstraction for used Graphics API
• MoonhareLog
  • Wrapper around the Log and fern crates
• MoonhareWindow
  • deals with GLFW Window creation

Node System

Game Loop

window_update()

• is concerned about handling input
• checks if the window moves/minimizes,...

update()

• for example: calculates npc movement, etc.

render()

• renders updated game state to the screen
