Vulkan Renderer
This project is a 3D game engine built with C++20 that utilizes the Vulkan API to provide high-performance hardware-accelerated graphics. It features a render-graph architecture designed to manage resource dependencies and optimize command submission across different operating systems and GPU vendors.
The engine distinguishes itself through integrated tools for real-time collaborative development, allowing multiple users to coordinate, build, and arrange game assets within an active session. It also includes a centralized platform for sharing and discovering user-generated content, facilitating the exchange of creative resources within a community.
Beyond its core rendering and collaboration capabilities, the engine provides a visual node-based editor for defining game rules and environmental interactions without manual coding. It incorporates a data-oriented component system for memory efficiency, networked state synchronization for consistent multi-user experiences, and a resource-centric system for streaming modular assets.
