Arkas Engine

WIP 3D engine with build-like maps

Written without the use of a hyper-thirsty super-hot slop machine

Controls:

• WASD for movement
• left or right arrow keys to turn camera (or use mouse)
• grave key to open console (and escape to close)

Preparation

Get a D compiler and the dub build system and build the ark tool in tools/ark. Then, clone https://github.com/mesyeti/ArkasAssets and follow the build instructions in the README. Then, make a folder next to the engine executable called game and put the base.ark from the arkas assets in the folder.

Build

To build Arkas Engine, run this:

make

Requires SDL2 and stb (clone recursively!)

Make options:

• PLAT=windows - Cross compile to Windows (64-bit)
• BUILD=release - Compile a release build
• ASAN=y - Enable address santiser
• LIB=y - Build Arkas Engine as a static library

If you build Arkas Engine as a library, run install.py as root to install the Arkas Engine headers

3DS

Arkas Engine has an incomplete 3DS port. To compile it, use these commands:

cd deploy/3ds
make

Requirements: 3ds-dev from devkitpro

PlayStation Vita

Arkas Engine has a completely dysfunctional PlayStation Vita port. To compile it, uses these commands:

cd deploy/psvita
cmake .
make

Requirements: Vita SDK, SDL2, VitaGL

Arkas Standalone

Arkas Standalone starts with a console with these commands:

• test-map - Load the test map
• clear-scenes - Clear scenes
• map <MAP NAME> - Load MAP NAME. Maps are stored in the maps folder. (Note: textures do not work when maps are loaded with this command, will be fixed when the resource manager is added)
• dl-map <MAP NAME> - Saves the current loaded map as MAP NAME in the maps folder
• help - Shows a list of commands
• editor - Open WIP map editor
• browser - Open WIP file browser

Graphics backends

Implemented

• OpenGL 1.1 - 2.0

In Progress

• Citro3D
