Sage Game Engine

A proof-of-concept 2D game engine. Created in University of Michigan's EECS 498-007 Game Engine Architecture course during Winter 2024.

Core ideas:

1. Actors are containers of components
2. Scenes are containers of actors
3. A game is a collection of scenes
4. Multiplayer games are made by replicating state

Building From Source

Sage Engine uses CMake for its build system. To get started, clone the repository and initialize submodules:

$ git clone https://github.com/dnsge/game-engine
$ cd game-engine
$ git submodules update --init --recursive

macOS

# Install dependencies via brew
$ brew install sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer boost
# Initialize cmake build directory
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
# Build the engine
$ cmake --build .
# Engine will be built at bin/sge

Windows

$ vcpkg install
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake" ..
$ cmake --build .
