Vivianite-engine
What is it?
Vivianite is an OpenGL Game engine written in C++ that uses a Forward+ rendering engine. It's structured with Modules that can be used by user-scripts to communicate with the engine and modify the game.
Why though?
Because I was bored and felt like it.
Is there any reason this exists?
Not really, I just wanted to make a game engine.
Okay, but is there any reason to use it?
Yes, it's set to use an easy-to-use scripting language, CUTE, which transpiles directly to C++, which makes it compile with the main runtime and may improve speed compared to some JIT-Compiled or Interpreted languages used in game engines. It also features C++ for more advanced developers, and custom GLSL support. The engine isn't hard to modify either.
Cool. How do I install it?
The installation method varies from platform to platform (however, cross-compilation is planned for compiling the games themselves).
