Ant Game Engine

English Version | 中文版本

Ant is an open source game engine developed by Lingxi Interactive Entertainment. At this stage, only the code repository is made public and has not yet been officially released. Documentation, examples, etc. are to be gradually improved on the Wiki If you have any questions, you can post in Discussions. Issues are only used for bug tracking, please do not ask questions in them.

Update and Initialize Third-party Libraries:

git submodule update --init

Build a Compilation Environment

MSVC

  • Install Visual Studio

MINGW

  • Download and install msys2
  • Find the msys2 installation directory and use mingw64.exe to open the msys2 terminal
  • Add the path to ming64 to the environment variable
echo "export MINGW=/mingw64" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "export PATH=\$MINGW/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
  • Install gcc/ninja
pacman -Syu mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja

macOS

  • Install xcode, ninja

Compile

Compile and build tool luamake

git clone https://github.com/actboy168/luamake
cd luamake
git submodule update --init
.\compile\install.bat (msvc)
./compile/install.sh (mingw/linux/macos)

Compile runtime

luamake

Compile tools

tools include: shaderc, texturec, gltf2ozz, release mode will be an order of magnitude faster (tools in debug mode do not need to be compiled)

luamake -mode release tools

Compile options

luamake [target] -mode [debug/release] #-mode默认是debug

Run

Run a minimal example

bin/msvc/debug/ant.exe test/simple/main.lua

Start Editor

bin/msvc/debug/ant.exe tools/editor/main.lua [projectdir] #for example: test/simple

Debug

  • Install VSCode;
  • Install the Lua Debug plug-in;
  • Add debug configuration to.vscode/launch.json
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "lua",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Debug",
            "luaexe": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/msvc/debug/ant.exe",
            "luaVersion": "lua-latest",
            "path": null,
            "cpath": null,
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "stopOnEntry": true,
            "outputCapture": [],
            "program": "test/simple/main.lua",
            "arg": []
        }
    ]
}
