Low level game engine being written in modern C++23 utilizing powerful Vulkan API
To be able to use Vortex you need to install a few dependencies:
- Modern C++ compiler, e.g: clang++-18
- Vulkan SDK
- Platform specific window server dev tools
sudo pacman -S git cmake base-devel vulkan-devel clang ninja libx11 wayland libxinerama
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential ninja-build clang vulkan-tools libvulkan-dev vulkan-validationlayers-dev spirv-tools libx11-dev libwayland-bin libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev
wget https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh
sudo chmod u+x llvm.sh
./llvm.sh 18
The first thing you have to do is to sync shaderc dependencies and generate the CMake Cache for the build system of your choice, e.g. Ninja like this:
(cd Vortex-Engine/vendor/shaderc && ./utils/git-sync-deps) && cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++-18 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
Afterwards you can build the engine using:
cmake --build build
The binaries are stored inside the ./bin directory
Vortex currently supports Linux with wayland or Xlib and Windows
