[RLofC]

Started working on a new 3D platformer when I realized, yet again, that I want to do everything from scratch  
So, went about and wrote my own game dev toolkit in C++  
Just pushed it to https://github.com/rlofc/GameDevTemplates - might be useful for the adventurous..

Looks very decent, I'm not into 3D, but I like your code, so I may read it through

Heh, the template style to configure the app with backends for things like rendering and so in is very similar to something I've been figuring out lately!

elastico90 - Thanks! check out my earlier 2D toolkit at http://libcage.org
Prinsessa - it's been a while since I used C++ up until recently - got myself a copy of Effective Modern C++ and went nuts with templates and CRTP. Happy to learn more tricks.

It looks nicely designed and coded. However, I wondered if you considered compile times in your design. The larger those template based codes get, the more annoying the compile times tend to be. Especially in experimental game-dev, where frequent recompilation may be necessary, this really is noticeable. This changes if you have a majored code base and data/script based game creation, of course. Just wondering...

Kind regards,
Sebastian

I starred it, interesting way to do dependency injection with templates. While I work in C++ I don't get to do it professionally (make sense of that). Any ideas on getting a compute backend put in there?

[RLofC]

@buto, yes, compile time could become an issue I'll have to look deeper into this, especially for the asset classes which could introduce numerous template instances in a single module.
 
@smartyMARTY, thanks! I have very little experience using GPUs for compute. My next step in the project is to write a GPU-based particle system, so I suspect I will have to add some elements of compute-like functionality in.
