chukobyte / crescent

A fighting and beat em up game engine for windows, linux, and macos written in C and uses OpenGL.

Hi, I'm Michael Smith, AKA Chukobyte

I'm a game developer that works on too many projects at once 🤔! I enjoy developing games, game engines, and participating in game jams.

What I'm Working On Currently

• A fighting game engine Crescent
• The game titled Serenade of the Sirens (closed source)

Stats

crescent's Issues

Add functionality to create new nodes dynamically and add them to the sceen tree

Editor - Add ability to play and stop the game within the editor

Add a simple play and stop button to start and stop the current project's game.

Create engine foundation - first iteration

Overarching task to develop the foundations for the game engine. Should have rendering, input, animation, python scripting, and networking (udp) implemented.

Create new node type 'ColorSquare'

A new node type ColorSquare should be created and useable by the python api.

Editor - Modify textures and audio sources data from asset browser

Editor - Implement export game project

First iteration of game export from the editor. Should generate a zip file of all the files needed to run the game project. The zip can contain flat files for this iteration.

Allow nodes to get parent node

Nodes will be able to get their parent by calling Node.get_parent().

Research and test built in coroutine/task support

Python api should be able to pass coroutines to be ran at different stages. For now we just have process and physics process. This task is to learn for learning the updated python async api as well as beginning to use coroutines. The goal should be to create a first pass at a coroutine/task library within the prototype project that can run coroutines. Functionality can be moved into the c side as needed later on.

Add github actions for builds & static analysis

Update docs - first pass

Update documentation with configuration, scene nodes, python scripting api, etc... Also rename some of the old 'roll back engine' references to the new name 'crescent engine'. Will complete more documentation within the second pass.

Come up with a name for the engine

Come up with a name that is better than Roll Back Engine. It doesn't need to be permanent.

Editor - Implement Scene View UI Window

Will preview the current scene within the editor. Will add manipulation tools later.

Support more than one connected gamepad

Adding the ability to handle multiple gamepad connect and disconnect events.

Two Fighter Prototype - Design

Write rough design for prototype.

Create basic standing, crouching, and jumping attacks.

Create Prototype Game With Editor

Overarching task to create a prototype game with the editor. This is to shake out bugs and usability issues with the editor. Should end with generating concrete tasks.

Add default engine font

Add default engine font and have it accessible from the python api. When a text label is created dynamically with TextLabel.new(), the default font will automatically be assigned to the label.

Two Fighter Prototype - Discovery

Setting up a basic two character fighting prototype. Overarching task to test out fighting game mechanics with the current state of the engine. Will generate more tasks to support the prototype.

Editor - Create project configuration loading, saving, and editing

Create camera system

Create first iteration of the camera system. Should have a basic 2d camera with boundaries, viewport position, offset, and zoom

Prototype: Implement basic attacks, jumping, and blocking.

Rough version of light punch (already in), heavy punch, light kick, and heavy kick. Blocking should be included by holding back, can add in animations and response later. Lastly jumping should be tweaked.

Implement external scene nodes

Should be able to load external scene nodes into a scene.

Editor - Create recently opened projects list in the project manager menu

Finish implementing 'working directory' flag to start projects from a different root directory.

Will use the -d flag to override the working directory in order to start projects from a different root directory. This will be needed by the editor.

Fix code scanning alert - Not all members of a class are initialized inside the compiler generated constructor. Consider in...

Tracking issue for:

• https://github.com/Chukobyte/roll-back-engine/security/code-scanning/11

File handling code needs to be replaced, since it's dependent on windows only headers

Editor - Create scene file loading, saving, and editing

Should be able to view the scene tree within the scene outliner and details panel.

Create crescent engine icon

Cleanup `CMakeLists.txt`

Currently both the editor and the engine target compile the same .c files, the editor should just be linking the engine to get the implementation though.

Editor - Fix right click on scene nodes and asset browser bug. Only works when node tree is in 'open' state.

Update `OpenGL` to `4.5`

• Generate new glad
• Use bindless functions

Add ability to load project assets from archive files

Editor - Create asset browser

Iterate on prototype fighter

Stuff like:

• Implement attacking, blocking, damage animations
• Update hitboxes
• Make sure the game can scale up
• etc...

Editor: Implement Scene Editor Tools from Scene UI

Implement selection and modifications tools within the editor's scene view ui. This should include a 2D widget to the adjust the transforms of the selected nodes.

Create a guide for building without `vcpkg`

Separate generic functionality from engine into separate framework

Editor: Skin editor to match logo's colors

Update attack and movement animations for prototype - Mor Character

Update docs - second pass

Needs to include:

• All python api functions
• Scene node description
• Project file description
• Editor Info

Reimplement scene graph to support negative scaling and rotations

Implement negative scaling to flip sprites, colliders, etc...

Editor - Create file system browser ImGui Widget

Design & Prototype 'Special Move' Paradigm

Editor - Implement Console (logging)

Prototype: Implement special attacks

`Winsock` needs to be replaced since it's windows only

Replace python config and scene files with json

Add light fighting game mechanics

Add health bars and timer.

Add splash screen with crescent logo animation

Implement origin in SpriteComponent and AnimatedSpriteComponent
