This is a stable, though not completely baked, 3D game engine. Documentation is a little sparse right now, but hopefully the example linked below will help. Disclaimer: I barely know anything about game development much less game engine development. This has been a learn-as-i-go project. If you have ideas or suggestions I would love it if you opened an issue.

• Defaults most things should "just work" with sane defaults.
• Pure other than a few system level dependencies, this should be 100% pure crystal code. Wrapping an existing project is cheating.
• Simple try to avoid obtuse graphics language, or at least document it very well so noobs can understand what's going on.
• Extensible you can extend/replace/add engines to the core with ease.

NOTE: this was recorded at 5fps, but runs at 60fps.

require "prism"

class Game < Prism::GameEngine
  def init
    # Cube
    # TODO: draw a box to look at

    # Sun light
    sun = Prism::Entity.new
    sun_color = Prism::Maths::Vector3f.new(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
    sun.add Prism::PointLight.new(sun_color)
    sun.transform.move_to(0, 10000, -7000)
    add_entity sun

    # Camera
    add_entity Prism::GhostCamera.new
  end
end

Prism::Context.run("Hello World", Game.new)

This project was largely inspired by "The Benny Box" and his 3D Game Engine Tutorial. Thanks for all the good tutorials Benny!
