Aegix Engine

Aegix is a small game engine written in modern C++. It uses the Vulkan Graphics API for rendering, aiming to provide a foundation for advanced graphics programming.

Features

• Physically based shading
• GLTF and OBJ mesh loading
• Immediate mode editor GUI
• Entity Component System

Prerequisites

• Before you can run Aegix, you'll need to have the Vulkan SDK installed on your system.
• CMake functions as the build system, so make sure it's installed or use an IDE with CMake support (Visual Studio is the recommended choice).
