# Project Symmetry

## About
|
|
|
|
A simple first person shooter that may or may not have anything to do with the concept of symmetry. This initially began as a rewrite of a previous
|
|
[project](https://github.com/shariqshah/Project-Abstraction) in an attempt to use as few libraries as possible while using a much more simpler language than C++.
|
|
The intention was for it to serve as a learning exercise by creating everything from scratch. But in order to finish this project in a finite amount of time, I later decided to considerably constrain the
|
|
scope of the project. I turned this into a simple first person game which serves as a more concrete goal to be achieved.
|
|
The game has a similar structure to older games like Quake where the objective is usually to survive and get to end of the level while killing monsters/demons.
|
|
The game uses the following libraries:
|
|
|
|
| Library | Usage |
|
|
| ---------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------- |
|
|
| [SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org/) | Windowing, Input, Platform abstraction |
|
|
| [Soloud](http://sol.gfxile.net/soloud/) | 3d positional audio |
|
|
| [Nuklear](https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear) | In-game and editor UI |
|
|
| [GLAD](https://github.com/dav1dde/glad-web) | OpenGL Extension Loading |
|

## Building
|
|
|
|
The game uses the [GENie](https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie) build system. The game can be build by the following steps:
|
|
|
|
-**Windows**: Execute the following command in the project's root directory by opening a visual studio developer command prompt:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cd build
|
|
..\tools\genie.exe vs2019
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will generate a visual studio 2019 solution in the *build/vs2019* folder which can be opened in sual studio and built and run as ususal.
|
|
|
|
-**Linux(Ubuntu)**: Execute the following in the project's root directory
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd build
|
|
../tools/genie gmake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will generate makefiles in the *build/gmake* directory. Then,
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd gmake
|
|
make all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build the debug configuration by default and it's output will be in *build/gmake/debug* folder. You can then run the game by,
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd debug
|
|
./Symmetry
|
|
```

- ### Entity
|
|
The following example shows an entity definition. When saved into a separate file, this forms the blueprint for
|
|
an entity which can be used to create multiple entities that follow the same definition.
|
|
Sample entity definition, parameters left out are set to defaults when possible:
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
Entity
|
|
{
|
|
type : 6
|
|
material : 0
|
|
diffuse_color : 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000
|
|
geometry : sponza.symbres
|
|
specular : 1.0000
|
|
active : true
|
|
diffuse_texture : default.tga
|
|
diffuse : 1.0000
|
|
specular_strength : 1.0000
|
|
name : Sponza
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
When saving a scene that contains entities created from entity archetypes, each of those entities are saved as a "Scene_Entity_Entry"
|
|
to signify that these are to be loaded from a separate file. Example of a scene entity entry for the entity defined above might
|
|
look like this
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
Scene_Entity_Entry
|
|
{
|
|
scale : 3.000 3.000 3.000
|
|
rotation : 0.000 0.000 0.000 1.000
|
|
position : -13.000 1.000 1.000
|
|
filename : Sponza
|
|
name : Sponza
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- ### Configuration Variables
|
|
|
|
These are the first parameters loaded when the game launches. If the game cannot find "config.symtres" file either in the game's installation directory or in the default operating system specific application directory, the game will generate a configuration file with default values and save it. An example config file, values left out are set to default:
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
Config
|
|
{
|
|
render_width: 1024
|
|
render_height: 1024
|
|
debug_draw_enabled: true
|
|
fog_color: 0.5 0.2 0.2 1
|
|
ambient_light: 0.1 0.1 0.1 1
|
|
msaa: true
|
|
msaa_levels: 8
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- ### Keybindings
|
|
|
|
Keybindings file contains the definition of all keybindings. Each "Key" block contains definition for
|
|
a named input mapping. The mapping can have two keys which can activate it. All keys are parsed by comparing the output of SDL_GetKeyname.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows an input mapping called "Move_Down":
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
Key
|
|
{
|
|
mods_secondary_alt : false
|
|
key_primary : E
|
|
mods_primary_ctrl : false
|
|
mods_secondary_shift : false
|
|
key_secondary : NONE
|
|
mods_secondary_ctrl : false
|
|
mods_primary_shift : false
|
|
name : Move_Down
|
|
mods_primary_alt : false
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
This can then be used from within the game with:
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
enum Key_State
|
|
{
|
|
KS_INACTIVE,
|
|
KS_PRESSED,
|
|
KS_RELEASED
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Returns true if the state of the input mapping matches the parameter 'state'
|
|
// which should be a value from the enum "Key_State"
|
|
bool input_map_state_get(const char* map_name, int state);
|
|
```
|
|
If no keybindings are found when the game launches, the game generates a file with default key mappings.
|
|
|
|
- ### Level/Scene
|
|
|
|
A scene file consists of definition of global scene parameters in a "Scene_Config" block along with the player definition.
|
|
This is then followed by entities which can either be a Scene_Entity_Entry or just a plain Entity.
|
|
Scene_Entity_Entry refers to the filename from where the entity should be loaded first and then have the parameters
|
|
within the Scene_Entity_Entry block applied to it.
|
|
|
|
Every scene alwas contains a default player which is defined in code however a Player block contains definitions
|
|
for player attributes that are applied to player when the scene is loaded.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows a scene with the player and a light entity called "Test_Light":
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
Scene_Config
|
|
{
|
|
debug_draw_color : 0.800 0.400 0.100 1.000
|
|
fog_type : 1

|

|
|

|
|

|
|
debug_draw_enabled : false
|
|

|
|
ambient_light : 0.100 0.100 0.100
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
