AtlasWeave Engine

AtlasWeave Engine is a hobby project designed to explore 3D rendering and game engine architecture in C#.
The engine uses Vulkan for low-level graphics control and Silk.NET for cross-platform support.
It features a modular structure with an ECS-based architecture and optional 2D overlay for UI or simple 2D games.

The goal of this project is to learn and experiment with modern rendering techniques, multi-threaded engine design, and scalable game logic — rather than building a production-ready engine.

Features (planned)

• Vulkan-based 3D renderer for learning graphics programming
• Modular Entity Component System (ECS)
• Multi-threaded architecture for CPU performance exploration
• Optional 2D overlay for HUDs, UI, or 2D experiments
• Simple terrain and mesh rendering
• Debug tools for profiling and learning engine internals

Roadmap

• Phase 1: Core engine setup, windowing, input
• Phase 2: Vulkan initialization, swapchain, command buffers
• Phase 3: ECS and basic 3D rendering
• Phase 4: Terrain streaming, camera, 2D overlay
• Phase 5: Debug tools, simple physics, optional 2D sprite rendering
