RavEngine Samples

This repository contains sample programs to demonstrate how to use the RavEngine C++ game library.

Samples

1. AirHockey
   • A simple air hockey game demonstrating RavEngine fundamentals (WIP)
2. Playground
   • A testing zone, subject to change
3. Perf-ECS
   • ECS raw number crunching benchmark
4. Perf-Draw
   • InstancedStaticMesh demo
5. Perf-DrawAnimated
   • A stress test for high object count with animated lights
6. Perf-Network
   • A networking stress test. Contains both the server and client code in the same target. Launch with no arguments for client, and any argument for server
7. Perf-Lighting
   • GPU-centric lighting and materials performance test with high-polygon models
8. GUI
   • A demonstration of all the different supported GUI widgets
9. Animation
   • Demonstrates the skinned mesh blending capabilities of RavEngine
10. SoundDynamics
    • A virtual soundstage demonstrating the audio reverbation modeling feature
11. Flags
    • Mixing skeletal and vertex animation, along using vector graphics on textures
12. Gravity
    • Creating orbits using PhysX forces
13. Navigation
    • Raycasting and pathfinding across 3D terrain
14. Occlusion
    • Test case for dynamic occlusion culling
15. Rendering
    • Demonstrate the various features of the render engine
16. Rats
    • Crazy? I was crazy once...

How to try the samples without building

1. Sign in to GitHub in your browser. This is required for accessing the downloads.
2. Go to Actions > Build Samples on this repository
3. Find the latest run that has a build for your platform (check the failed runs as well)
4. Download the Artifact for your platform

How to build the samples

1. Ensure RavEngine supports your platform.
2. Ensure you have the minimum required CMake version (see CMakeLists.txt), as well as a C++20-compatible compiler and required SDKs for your platform. See the RavEngine repository for additional dependency requirements for your platform.
3. Execute in terminal: git clone https://github.com/RavEngine/Samples --depth=1 --recurse-submodules
   • Do not use GitHub's Download as Zip, this will not include the required submodules.
4. Navigate your terminal into the config directory, and execute the build script for your system.
   • macOS: ./build-mac.sh
   • Windows: build-win.bat
     • Note: Due to a known bug in the Windows configure process, you will need to execute this script twice to build successfully.
   • Linux: ./build-linux.sh
   • iOS (device): ./init-ios.sh (project gen only, open Xcode for code signing)
   • tvOS (device): ./init-tvos.sh (project gen only, open Xcode for code signing)
   • UWP: ./init-uwp.bat (project gen only, use Publish in Visual Studio to generate MSIX installers)
5. Navigate your terminal to the build/release directory, and run the samples.
