# MeltedForge

**MeltedForge** is a game engine written in **C** using **Vulkan**, with a focus on minimal dependencies, performance, and clean design.



  



---

## 🚀 Goals

- 🔁 Cross-platform

- 🎮 Support for both **3D and 2D** games

- 🔥 Realistic graphics (PBR coming soon 👀)

- 🧠 Entity Component System (ECS)

- 🎵 Sound system support

- 🕹️ Animation system

- 🧩 Flexible and modular

- 🧰 Built to showcase what **C** can really do in game dev

- 🐢 Low-end spec friendly (hopefully)

- 🙌 Beginner-friendly setup and usage

---

## 📦 Dependencies

> **Note:** The following are the **important conditions** met by the PC for **building/running** MeltedForge

- Vulkan SDK (Get from [LunarG](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/))

- A GPU driver with **modern Vulkan support** (Vulkan 1.2.000+)

- A modern **C & C++** compiler with the support of **latest language standards** with **the corresponding runtime libraries**

- CMake (Get from [here](https://cmake.org/download/))

- Make if using GCC & G++ or Clang & Clang++

---

## 🛠️ Build Instructions

> **Note:** This repo uses submodules. Make sure to clone it **recursively**.

```bash

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CloudCodingSpace/MeltedForge.git

```

The make change the directory into the repo's remote folder/directory. Then create a folder/directory

like bin/out/build for the binary output. Then run the following commands :- 

```bash

cmake -S . -B 

cmake --build  --parallel

```

> **Note:** Before running the executable of the MFTest, make sure that the shaders are compiled. Helper scripts to compile shaders on Window are in the scripts folder.
