# Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a Java-based game engine developed from scratch, currently in its early stages. The goal is to create a modular, extensible, and performant engine suitable for 2D and 3D game and software development.
It is using my own graphics library which wraps around opengl named [Photon](https://github.com/Xernas78/Photon)
## 🚧 Project Status
This project is a work in progress. Contributions, feedback, and suggestions are welcome!
## ✨ Features
- **Core Engine**: Built entirely in Java, providing a solid foundation for game and software development.
- **Modular Architecture**: Designed to be extensible, allowing for easy integration of new features and systems.
- **Rendering System**: Implementation of a rendering pipeline for 2D and 3D graphics.
- **Lighting System**: Basic lighting system + some builtin shaders
- **Input Handling**: Basic input management for keyboard and mouse events.
- **Scene Management**: Support for multiple scenes
- **Customization**: Lots of control and possibilities on every aspect of the app
## 📃TODO
- Some small fixes
- Adding text rendering (Currently working on it)
- Physics
