Shard++

The project is about rewriting the game-engine "Shard" supplied in the course "TDA572 / DIT572 Game engine architecture" from C# to C++ and extending it with new features.

Some features:

• Physically based rendering (PBR) with IBL
• Enviroment mapping
• 3D model loading with materials that can be used for physically-based rendering (PBR)
• AABBs for game objects
• Sweep and prune (SAP) collision detection in 3D
• Eventlisteners for game objects (e.g. OnCollisionEnter, OnCollisionStay, OnCollisionExit)
• Flight controls (pitch, yaw, roll) for the player
• First person camera, third person camera, follow-cam
• Possible to set your own shader
• Ray-object collision testing (e.g. clicking on an object on your screen)
• Heightfields and procedurally generated terrain.
• Pathtracing.
• Variable refreshrate runtime
• Physics works the same no matter the framerate
