Roadmap

Wishlist

  • Transform as a matrix/rotation as a quaternion.
  • Registry diffs. Need to maintain a diff between current scene and scene on disk, and also between simulating scene vs current scene.
    • Will be beneficial when I pass modified values across threads.
  • Component diffs are also required to pass changes across physics systems
  • Undo/Redo system for UI
  • Serialization. For effective saving/loading scenes, binding components to editor panels etc etc
  • UI markup? Have a "ImGUILang" parser on the editor side that reads an ImGUILang file for each module that has UI elements, maybe autogenerated by CMake.
    • Can be used for custom editor gizmos
  • Rethink module structure. Plugins vs modules? Try cr for hot reloading?
    • EnTT 3.6 makes breaking changes. Module and a central type_context in the engine is important before I bump the version.
    • EnTT 3.6 (3.7 now) will make diffing and serialization simpler I think. Need more research.
  • Engine modules for rendering, resources, physics etc. These would each be separate DLLs. The game itself would be a module (see Godot)
  • Engine play button for testing the game in editor
  • Split simulation and rendering threads
    • Single tick or independent ticks? I would prefer to go for single tick, but then we'll have to synchronize each frame.
    • FixedUpdate vs Update for physics and rendering
  • Low-level render library to interface with various graphics APIs like Vulkan, OpenGL etc. (or just use Vulkan everywhere?)
  • Deferred rendering
  • Shadows and reflections
  • Importer tool to import an asset into the engine and store it with all required metadata in an optimized format
  • Build tool to create no-editor builds of the game. Have a couple of stub files that implement the runtime and use CMake scripts to build and link it with the engine and the game DLL
