Reference Documentation
0.6.0
This is the reference documentation for the Wendy engine, a simple demo and game engine using OpenGL, OpenAL and ODE (formerly OpenDE). It is the hope of the author that it also serves as a suitable introduction to engine design, due to its (relatively) small size and (hopefully) consistent design.
The Wendy engine is built on top of the Moira utility library, which provides resource management, math classes, animation, image and mesh data management, generalised I/O, signals and more.
Some notable features of Wendy are:
- Multipass, multi-technique render style descriptors with support for multitexturing and GLSL shaders.
- Extensible particle system with generic emitters and affectors.
- Render queue system with automatic opacity, distance and material sorting.
- Basic scene graph management.
- Hierarchial demo effect system with local time, animable properties and built-in real-time effect sequencer / editor.
- Extensible user interface library and supporting 2D rendering interface.
- OpenGL wrapper API , providing automatic resource management and many useful helper classes, in case you need to implement custom rendering.
- ODE wrapper API.
