eMgine Game Engine

Welcome to eMgine, a versatile game engine developed as an extension of EECS 498-007 (Game Engine Architecture) at the University of Michigan. eMgine is equipped with an intuitive editor that allows for the creation and editing of scene files and Lua scripts within the application.

Built with a focus on ease of use and flexibility, eMgine incorporates popular libraries like glm for mathematics, rapidJSON for JSON handling, and a complete source compilation for Dear ImGui, ImGuiFileDialog, and box2d. The engine leverages SDL2 for cross-platform window management, input, and graphics, providing a comprehensive foundation for game development.
