The beta of our new game engine has been updated with a new renderer built with the Vulkan graphics API, and all OpenGL code has been removed. Vulkan provides us with low-overhead rendering that delivers a massive increase in rendering performance. Early benchmarks indicate as much as a 10x improvement in speed over the Leadwerks 4 renderer.
The new engine features an streamlined API with modern C++ features and an improved binding library for Lua. Here's a simple C++ program in Turbo:
#include "Turbo.h" using namespace Turbo; int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { //Create a window auto window = CreateWindow("MyGame", 0, 0, 1280, 720); //Create a rendering context auto context = CreateContext(window); //Set some Lua variables VirtualMachine::lua->set("mainwindow", window); VirtualMachine::lua->set("maincontext", context); //Create the world auto world = CreateWorld(); //Load a scene auto scene = LoadScene(world, "Maps/start.map"); while (window->KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) == false and window->Closed() == false) { world->Update(); world->Render(context); } return 0; }
Early adopters can get access to beta builds with a subscription of just $4.99 a month, which can be canceled at any time. New updates will come more frequently now that the basic renderer is working.
