galaxy

Real-Time C++20 Game/App Engine. Built on data-driven design principles and agile software engineering.

Building

Requirements: 64bit OS Doxygen Doxygen Dark Theme

Windows:

Visual Studio 2022

Major Components:

Desktop development with C++
Game development with C++

Minor Components:

Windows Universal CRT SDK
Windows SDK 10.0.20348.0
Windows Universal C Runtime

Building Instructions:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/DomRe/galaxy.git galaxy
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd galaxy
Open galaxy.sln and go Build -> Rebuild Solution.

Linux:

Only ubuntu is supported.

CMake v3.24 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS – OR – WSL2 - Ubuntu

Coming Soon.

MacOS:

Unsupported, due to terrible support of Modern C++ and OpenGL.

Scripts:

There are additional helper scripts located in the scripts folder. In order to run these, you require a MSYS2 installation installed on your PATH.
