This time I will focus on the component system, as it is quite complex. Using it isn’t complex, but I’m trying to mimic Unity’s functionality that was written in C#. Functionality that is partially implemented within the editor and doesn’t relate directly to typing in code. I have no idea how Unity really does this, but the solution I have come up with seems tidy enough and fits neatly within a single C++ header.</p> https://ncot.uk/blog-posts/component-based-game-engine-from-scratch-part-1/ Sun, 10 Mar 2019 21:44:59 +0000 https://ncot.uk/blog-posts/component-based-game-engine-from-scratch-part-1/ <p>This is going to be the first part in a continuing series where I try to explain how and why I’m creating my own game engine using C++ and the SDL library. My engine isn’t going to do anything amazing, but will borrow ideas from other engines I’ve used before such as Unity.</p>
