controls:

left click - move selected model to location
ESC - exit
wasdeq - camera controls, for debugging

Debug Menu - allows u to select model to move/scale/rotate/change animation etc.
Drag & Drop - any model can be loaded if u drag and drop it in the window

notes:

All builds are x64. windows builds are compiled with mingw. The binary is only linked to the libraries statically.

compiling

requirements

• ninja
• cmake
• vulkan 1.4+ sdk
• Slang compiler
• gcc 16+ or mingw 16+
• if compiling for networked version: OpenSSL (must be gcc ABI compliant) (will explain how to do that exactly on windows in the instructions section)

instructions

• clone recursivelygit clone --recursive or run either git pull --recurse-submodules or git submodule update --init --recursive after cloning to install the dependancy submodules
• download resources and extract to resources directory in repo root
• install vulkan sdk (including slang or install slang standalone (recommended))
• install openssl
  • window only:
    • use msys2 (easiest) to build openssl from source
      • cd /path/to/openssl
      • export PATH="/path/to/mingw/bin:$PATH"
      • export OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON
      • ./Configure --prefix=$PWD/dist no-idea no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-shared mingw64
      • make depend && make && make install
    • set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR environment variable to /path/to/openssl/dist or wherever u set the install prefix for openssl to
    • compilers must match for ABI compatibility
• configure cmake from repo root, e.g:
  • cmake --preset dbg
• build:
  • cmake --build build/dbg
• install:
  • cmake --install build/dbg
