Repository for Game Engines subject at CIMT-UPC 3r Year.
DrunkEngine is the the result of developing a 3D Game Engine for our third year subject Game Engines. This is not a fully fledged game engine but holds core subsystems for building one.
This release includes an editor where you can import a .FBX file, transform all its contents and make your own scenes (you are able to save the scene and load it from the editor). It also includes an animation subsistem to load fbx with animations.

The people currently working in this engine are Andreu Sacasas and Marc Torres, currently 3rd Year students coursing Design and Game Development at CITM, a center abscribed to the UPC.
DrunkEngine will automatically load an .FBX file with a street and some houses with textures and a basic animation to showcase the animation system. To test the animation blending you can press 1 on the keyboard to throw a punch or hold 2 to make a walking animation.
It will export the files to our own format under a HIDDEN directory ./Library/
To move around the space, you can orbit around something with Alt+LeftClick or move in first person using RightClick+WASD. If you wander off to far, don’t worry, press F to focus again to the current model.
In the menu bar, an array of options are available, take some time to look into it. We specially recommend using the Inspector and the Scene Viewer. Besides clicking them on the menu you can also open them with Ctrl+I and Ctrl+V respectively (you can check and change other shortcuts on the “input” section in the Options menu). All keybindings are rebindable, make use of your perfect layout.
To add new fbx into the scene, just select the object that will be the parent for it on the Scene Viewer, go to Menu->Import… and select the new asset. If you want to save the current scene or to load a new one, just go to Menu->Save/Load.
In order to check out how time is flowing in-engine vs in-game, a simple collapsable header is under the Options Menu->Time Viewer. The first 2 values represent engine delta time and time since startup, the 2 below represent current game delta time and time since game startup.
To change game speed you can change between modes:
Currently game time is not used in any shape or form, but there is a structure prepared for future use of it, separating editor and game runtime code.
When saving a scene, it will be created automatically under an Assets folder inside the Executable directory.
If you make a mess loading things, you can clear up the editor at Options->Delete Scene.
All the cameras are components that work as frustums and there is a module for normal cameras and a "fake" one for the editor camera. As the window resizes, the FOV is automatically adjusted to the new proportions and all its values can be adjusted from the option panel.

The engine uses a Static system for the objects in it (as in Unity), and it is used to optimize rendering through the KD-Tree.
The KD-Tree divides the static objects of the scene into multiple nodes depending on the limit of objects per node and the maximum number of sub-divisions that the user gives.
Each time an object is put to static the KD-Tree is created again, and it is used to optimize the frustum culling and the mouse pick of the user.
In this KD-Tree the objects in between nodes count as in both. To put an example of how it works, take a look into the white cut; as each node can only contain 2 objects (in this case), the white cut is dividing a node with 3 objects into 2 nodes with 2 objects each (one is repeated).
The objects can be transformed on local and/or world space. In this example the rotation of the whole scene is rotated 90º in the X-axis as you can see in the inspector.
So, if we select a house and move it, it will transform diferently depending if we are on "world" or on "local".
I developed a subscription-based Event System to keep some order on our code. It is used mostly for the update of GameObjects (when transforming them) and for screen resizes. The module that detects a change on something important sends an specific event with information to the system and, at the start of the next cycle, it sends that information to all the modules that are subscribed to that particular event.
Bones Mesh Animation System Image
As part of the last assignment, a basic skeletal animation sub-system has been implemented. Currently it can handle single mesh skeletons with different animations. Animations can be created from a single timeline import, through the inspector and later revised with the animation panel or ingame.
