Core SubSystems
Engine Explorer
There is an explorer attached to the engine where the user can see all the assets (models, scenes, textures, prefabs, scripts...). The user also can create folders and organize the assets as wanted. Moreover every file has its own interaction:
-
Models & Textures: They can be dropped in the scene of the engine and model will be created or texture will be attached to the selected object if it has mesh.
-
Prefab: Double clicking will open the prefab scene where the user can edit it. Droping the file in the scene will create the prefab.
-
Scenes: Droping an scene to the scene panel will open a popup where the user is asked to save the current scene or not before switching to the dropped.
-
Scripts: Double clicking a script file will open the default editing program for the scripts.
Build Settings
Opening the Build Settings panel the user is asked to attach a README or LICENSE if wanted, choose the folder for the build and name. Also there are two differents options:
-
Build: The build will be generated and windows explorer will appear to see everything was created succesfully.
-
Build and Run: he build will be generated and the exe will be automatically executed.
Undo and Redo
There are the two default shortcuts for these two actions:
-
Cntrl + Z: By clicking this combo, the engine will return backwards one action.
-
Cntrl + Y: Clicking this, will go fordward one returned action if the exists.
​
Main features implemented that form Alien Engine, explained briefly:
C++ HOTRELOAD
The scripting system implemented is C++ Hot Reload, this allows the user to have the game running in the engine and change scripts and after the user compiles (Cntrl + B) the engine will detect it and will free the old dll (also will delete all old components scripts in use) and will load the new dll and refresh all scripts.
Once this finishes, the engine now has the new code running. User can show its variables in the inspector and modify them in real time.
