Quick Start

Game code only needs a single include:

#include "void.h"

All engine code lives inside the voidx namespace. The main engine header exposes using namespace voidx;, so game code can use engine classes without qualifying them every time:

Texture texture;
Renderer::BeginScene(camera);

instead of

voidx::Texture texture;
voidx::Renderer::BeginScene(camera);

Creating a window

WindowConfig config;

config.title = "VOID";
config.width = 1280;
config.height = 720;
config.vsync = VSyncMode::Enabled;
config.showDebugUI = true;

if (!InitWindow(config))
    return 1;

Main loop

OrthographicCamera camera(
    0.0f,
    1280.0f,
    720.0f,
    0.0f
);

while (!WindowShouldClose())
{
    BeginDrawing();

    float dt = GetDeltaTime();

    Renderer::BeginScene(camera);

    // Draw your game here

    Renderer::EndScene();

    EndDrawing();
}

CloseWindow();

BeginDrawing() starts a new frame, EndDrawing() presents the rendered frame. Renderer::BeginScene() prepares the batch renderer and Renderer::EndScene() uploads the accumulated geometry to the GPU.

The game layer never directly interacts with SDL3, OpenGL or GLAD — the engine manages the graphics API, GPU resources and rendering pipeline for you.

Next: Architecture.
