# SAIGA
Saiga is a lightweight utility and rendering framework.
It supports all major desktop operating systems and provides OpenGL and Vulkan rendering backends.
Saiga was successfully used as a game engine for [Redie](http://store.steampowered.com/app/536990/) and in many privat and university projects.
## History
* January 2014: Development start as a private OpenGL framework for university projects.
* September 2015: The name SAIGA was chosen as a reference to the [saiga antelope](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saiga_antelope).
* April 2014 - December 2016: Development of the game [Redie](http://store.steampowered.com/app/536990/). In this time most of SAIGA's functionality was added so it could be used as a lightweight game engine.
* January 2017 - August 2017: Increased usability and documentation in preparation of the open source release.
* August 2017: Open-Source Release.
* September 2018: Experimental Vulkan support.
* December 2018: Added Vision module with focus on SLAM, Reconstruction, Registration, and Optimization
## Supported Compilers
* g++ 8.2
* Visual Studio 2017
* clang++ 7.0
