RayForce

Description

Rayforce is a lightweight 3d physics game engine, with the purpose of having the maximum performance.

---

Requirements & Dependencies

This project relies on the following core libraries:

• Raylib: Used for rendering and window management.
• NVIDIA PhysX: Utilized for high-performance physics simulations.

---

Installation

To get a local copy up and running, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository

Clone the project using Git: git clone https://github.com/Alvareos11/RayForce.git

2. Install extern Dependencies

Visual Estudio 2022: First open RayForce.sln with Visual Studio, then run the comand donet restore.

Others IDEs: Follow the installation documentation of the extern Dependencies for your OS:

• Raylib: Refer to the Raylib Wiki: Working on Platforms for detailed installation guides on Windows (MinGW/MSVC), Linux, and macOS.
• NVIDIA PhysX: Follow the build and setup instructions in the NVIDIA PhysX Official Repository. You will need to compile the SDK for your specific platform to obtain the necessary libraries.

3. Compilation

Visual Studio 2022 Open RayForce.sln and the press F5.

Cmake (Cross-Platform): Run the following comands from the root directory: cd RayForce mkdir build cd build cmake .. make.

Troubleshooting

On Linux / Raspberry Pi: If the engine fails to start, force the OpenGL version by running: MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 ./RayForce
