Main projects
C++ Game Engine : Shard Engine
- Project Type: 3D Game Engine
- Creation Date/Duration: 2025, 2 months
- Tools : VS Code | Cmake | C++ | Open GL
- Project Summary : Shard is a modular C++17 game engine I’m building from scratch, with Vulkan and OpenGL 4.6 backends behind a custom render hardware interface. It has a PBR renderer with a render graph, DDGI, baked lightmaps and a path-traced reference mode. It also has an ImGui editor with hot-reloaded game modules, a reflection system, and a deterministic headless runner with input replays, tested in CI on Windows and Linux. I use a handful of low-level libraries (SDL, Jolt, FMOD, ImGui) and wrote the engine architecture, renderer and tooling myself.
- Project Goal : Design, Organize and Code a game engine in C++
