Copper-Engine

About

Copper-Engine is an open source 3D game engine developed by Kris Hass (HI MOM!!!!) with solid performance, users and gamers as the main focus areas.

In it's current stage, Copper-Engine is capable of creating simple games with it's C# Scripting Engine, simple but powerful 3D Renderer, Entity Component System and many more features. All of this is possible with the help of a professional level editor that comes prepackaged with the engine.

Features

Level Editor

Copper-Engine comes with a powerful and easy-to-use level editor, aptly named Copper-Editor. Paired with the Copper-Launcher, they form the main toolkit for creating games built on the Copper-Engine.

C# Scripting

By using C# you can add functionality through code to your game projects utilizing the pre-packaged scripting API. This is done by writing C# scripts and creating custom Components to define your game's functionality.

ECS

One of the most crucial parts of the Copper-Engine is our own, custom Entity Component System (ECS) which represents the game worlds efficiently while remaining highly customizable and easy-to-use.

Asset system

Copper stores all built-in or custom game assets in custom, fast, contiguous memory structures for blazing-fast access with no overhead.

Input system

Input is handled by a fast, state-based input system offering overhead-free key state queries and event-based notifications for input changes.

Event system

A simple and customizable event system is a core part of Copper-Engine, making it easy to hook into the engine's flow or define your own custom events.

Renderer

A very minimal but fast 3D batch renderer with basic phong lighting lets you display complex and colourful game worlds.

Physics

Copper-Engine uses PhysX for a fast and optimized Rigid Body simulation. A lightweight wrapper makes PhysX easy to use within your projects.
