Verge Engine

Verge Engine is a Vulkan-based C++ engine for realistic vehicle simulations

Note: Verge Engine is under active development and not yet usable as a finished product. To experiment with the current state, see run.ps1

Features

Rendering with Vulkan

• Dynamic shadows
• Lighting (Blinn-Phong)
• Real-time multi-threaded model loading (.glb, .obj)
• Textures with mipmaps
• Post-effects (FXAA, dithering, vignette)
• UI

Vehicle physics

• User-configurable engine, drivetrain and gearbox simulation
• Animated wheels (steering, spin, camber, suspension)
• Terrain collisions

Audio with miniaudio

• 3D spatial audio
• Layered engine audio

Input system with GLFW

• Keyboard, gamepad and steering wheel support
• Axis dead-zone handling and per-input smoothing

World

• Heightmap terrain with custom surface types
• Props
• Triggers

Dependencies
