Wicked Engine is an open-source game engine written in C++ for Windows PC. For list of features, see features.txt. Demos are available at: https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngineDemos From now on you can easily set up a game project by using the component templates. (see the demos for examples)

• Visual Studio 2015+
• Windows SDK
• DirectX11 SDK (included in Windows SDK)(legacy SDK not supported)
• DirectX11 June 2010 Redist (Only if you want to support Windows 7 because it uses Xaudio 2.7!)

• DirectX 10+ Graphics card

Set the following dependencies to this library in Visual Studio this way in the implementing project:

1. Open Project Properties -> Configuration Properties
2. C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories:
   • ./WickedEngine
3. Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories:
   • Directory of your built .lib file (Debug or Release directory in the solution by default)

When your project settings are set up, time to #include "WickedEngine.h" in your source. I recommend to include this in the precompiled header file. This will enable the use of all the engine features and link the necessary binaries. This will not load all the features for you however. For that, use the helper wiInitializer::InitializeComponents() which will load all features of the engine. If you want to use just a subset of features, specify in the parameters of the function with a WICKEDENGINE_INITIALIZER enum value, or multiple values joined by the | operator. For further details, please check the demo project at: https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngineDemos.

Editor: Use Blender 2.72 as the editor of this engine. Set up your scene and export it with the provided script

Windows 7 support: define _WIN32_WINNT=0x0601 preprocessor on the whole project

Windows 8.1 Store support: define WINSTORE_SUPPORT preprocessor for the whole project (incomplete)

• ./WickedEngine.sln - Visual Studio Solution;
• ./WickedEngine/WickedEngine.vcxproj - Visual Studio Project;
• ./WickedEngine/BULLET/ - Bullet 2.82 Source files;
• ./WickedEngine/LUA/ - Lua 5.3.1 Source files;
• ./WickedEngine/shaders/ - Binary shaders output;
• ./WickedEngine/ - C++ and shader source files;
• ./WickedEngine/Utility - C++ source files for utility helpers;
• ./io_export_wicked_wi_bin.py - Blender 2.72+ script to export scene;

You can use a great number of engine features through the Lua scripting api, which can even be used real time while the program is running. For further details, please check the scripting API documentation: Wicked Engine Scripting API

For the time being, Blender software is the editor program for Wicked Engine. I provide an export script which you can use to export to the wicked scene format. The script is also going to be updated from time to time to remove the known hiccups and bugs.

• Names should not contain spaces inside Blender The problem is the c++ side code which parses the text files such as it breaks parsing on spaces. Mesh files are already exported as binary, so those are okay Suggested fix: write binary export for everything
• Separate files generated I've written the exporter to write different categories of the scene to different files for easier debugging from a text editor. If the exporter is rewritten to write binary for everything, such debugging will not be possible so might as well merge the files (except mesh files and error message file)
• Only animation supported is skeletal animation
• Animation Action names should contain their armature's name so that the exporter matches them correctly Suggested fix: find a better way of matching armatures and actions
• Animation only with linear curves (so no curves) Suggested fix: implement curves support into the engine and the exporter
• Only one uv map support Light maps and other effects requiring multiple uv maps are not possible yet.
