Atlantis Game Engine

This is a 3D game engine based on SDL3 + Vulkan API / Metal API.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled in order to build this game engine.

1. Conan 2.29.1 must be installed.
2. A Conan default profile must exist with the same compiler flags as this project.

3. Missing Conan dependencies must be installed:

   # For all dependencies
   
   conan install . --output-folder=cmake-build-debug --build=missing -o "*:shared=True" -s build_type=Debug -s compiler.cppstd=17
   conan install . --output-folder=cmake-build-release --build=missing -o "*:shared=True" -s build_type=Release -s compiler.cppstd=17
   

4. The following CMake-Options must be provided for the "Debug" & "Release" Profile:

   -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES=Debug -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake-build-debug/conan_toolchain.cmake
   -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake-build-release/conan_toolchain.cmake
   

5. For the CMake Default Toolchain use Generator Visual Studio for each CMake profile.

6. For ls-std dependency download the recipes repository and navigate to the version conanfile.py. Then run:

   conan create . -o "ls-std/*:shared=True" -s build_type=Debug
   conan create . -o "ls-std/*:shared=True" -s build_type=Release
   

Modules

In Process: It contains the following modules:

Name	Description
ls-atlantis-cycle	This module provides functionalities like engine setup, game loop logic and engine run time information.
ls-atlantis-factory	This module provides factories for building interface implementations.
ls-atlantis-glossary	Consumer: This module provides library constants and lists, which can be shared among project modules. This would avoid circular dependencies through out the project. This module can be imported. This module must not import any library dependencies itself.
ls-atlantis-input	This module provides functionalities for handling input devices, such as keyboard, mouse & joystick.
ls-atlantis-interface	Consumer: This module provides all interfaces all other engine modules can implement. This would avoid circular dependencies through out the project. This module can be imported. This module must not import any library dependencies itself.
ls-atlantis-message	This module provides all messaging functionalities and status code implementations.
ls-atlantis-window	This module provides functionalities for window creation and handling.

Dependencies
