HammerGenics is a simple, extensible (with Groovy - under development) 3D sanbox game engine built on top of the LibGDX ecosystem and Bullet3 physics engine. It has been designed with an idea that the game development could be as simple, seamless and joyful as playing with Lego.
Major features introduced in current version are:
- Material Attributes editor: the UI and underlying structures to edit colors, textures and lights
- Mesh editor: including node transforms and render, vertex analysis for primitive shapes (used for tiles in map/terrain generation)
- Animation editor: allows to create the keyframes and edit the bones affected with the timeline frame slider
- Map Generator: with the help of noise4j allows to generate the terrain chunk grids and apply the tiles, which are primitive terrain parts in the form of a squerish mesh
- Physics: currently all the models that are being added to the project have rigid body created and being added to the Dynamics World (Bullet3) engine
- AI Algorithms: currently implemented the following features from gdx-ai library: Steering, Formations and Pathfinding Algorithms
