skyshatter-engine

A vapor, which grows into a cloud, and then a thundercrack splits the sky.

A game engine for the cloud.

Getting Started:

This has a lot of moving pieces and right now the work is primarily on dependencies, so I've divided things into submodules:

To get started:

git clone <this repo> --recurse-submodules

Implementation Notes:

• TODO: Finish Quic Implementation in https://github.com/acgollapalli/odin-quic
• TODO: Integrate SSL from https://github.com/acgollapalli/odin-ssl
• TODO: Implement WebTransport (which probably means implementing HTTP/3 while we're at it
• TODO: Write Web Server (nginx and the like don't support webtransport, so we don't get reverse proxy support)
  • Odin's core:net does net have non-blocking sockets so we may need to implement using io-uring (and kqueues and IOCP for non-linux). probably best to just add it to the library and make a PR if we're going to do it
• TODO: Write Server-Side Simulation Library
  • Build Actor Model (possibly ZeroMQ integration)
  • Build World Tree
  • Implement Object Pools
  • Partition Logic (from world tree)
  • Build render loop (ring buffer with time deltas?)
  • build distributed coordination system for partition logic
  • build connection handoff logic on partition
  • build failover logic
  • build state caching (for failover logic)
• TODO: Write Client Side Renderer using WebGPU bindings (or whatever else)
  • Asset Streaming (in parallel with 3d asset pipeline)
  • lighting
  • animation
  • bundle deployment for compositor switching
• TODO: Build Client-Side Level Editor
• TODO: Build 3D Asset Pipeline to put assets on CDN
• TODO: Build Cloud Deployment Pipeline (and figure out how we're going to get webtransport with no boundaries between us and clients on the edge)
• TODO: Make a website, with cool videos and stuff (and documentation...)
