Stars of the Abyss
Bullets, bullets, and more bullets… Did I mention there are bullets?
A project created using a custom OpenGL engine written in C++ for the team’s final-year capstone assignment. Myself, Domara Shlimon and Andre Daviau are who made up said development team.
The framework for the engine was composed of SDL, OpenGL, FreeType, entt, and nlohmann json. Multi-threading was implemented to handle the large number of projectiles that could be on-screen at any given time.
I handled programming game’s UI. In order to properly format the loaded fonts, I had to load every character onto a single texture. If I didn’t implement this texture atlas system for text, the GPU would’ve had to perform a texture swap for every character drawn on the screen, and that swapping would’ve been a major performance hit during the game’s rendering.
