Stallion is a custom open-source, modular game engine written in C++ for high performance and great stability. It targets Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and Metal 3 as its graphics backends and offers a novel GPGPU-based approach for physics calculations. The engine serves as a middleware layer, abstracting the complexities of modern rendering APIs while still allowing low-level control where needed.
- Cross-Platform Native Application - Uses Native APIs for GUI, ensuring the editor fits in with each OS's interface guidelines.
- Multi-Backend Graphics API – Supports Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and Metal 3.
- GPGPU Physics Acceleration – Compute shader-based physics for high-performance simulations.
- Modular Architecture – Designed for flexibility, allowing developers to use specific engine components independently.
- CMake (for project configuration)
- A compatible C++ compiler supporting C++20 or later
- Windows SDK (installed via Visual Studio)
- Xcode with Metal support (for macOS and iOS development)
