  • Dithering, color quantization, fog and palette control
  • ECS scene and gameplay layer

  • Debug UI, profiling and RenderDoc capture support

##Build

sh
make deps
make run

The first build compiles the dependencies, so it will take longer than later builds.

sh
make editor SCENE=path/to/scene.scn  # edit, then press F5 to playtest
make editor                          # run default scene
make scene SCENE=path/to/scene.scn   # cook and run a scene
make prefab-viewer PREFAB=prefab     # inspect a model
make demo                            # run the renderer demo
make test                            # run the test suite
make help                            # show every target and option

##Different Profiles:

sh
make run PRESET=ps1
make run PRESET=n64
make run PRESET=pixel-3d
make run PRESET=modern-ps1
