In the group project focused on developing a game engine based on OpenGL, I contributed encompassed a wide range of critical areas within the game engine’s development, spanning from asset management and resource pipelines to math computations, file handling, and the creation of a functional editor interface as follows:

1. Resource/Asset Workflow and Pipeline:

   • Developed data serialization and deserialization mechanisms.
   • Designed the scene graph, enabling the saving and loading of scene snapshots.
   • Created prefabs, managing data dependencies and references during save/load operations.
   • Defined data structures and implemented parsing for static meshes, materials, textures, skeletons, and animation clips.

2. Math Module, IO Module, Toolkit Development:

   • Implemented custom math functions to support various engine calculations.
   • Developed file read/write functionalities for managing the engine file system and project file system.
   • Set up a log system to handle engine logs efficiently.
   • Managed engine configurations to fine-tune the engine’s behavior.
   • Handled texture compression and conversion processes.
   • Implemented systems for managing textures and icons within the engine.

3. Editor Development:

   • Created the visual appearance and layout of the editor interface.
   • Integrated the ECS (Entity-Component-System) framework with various systems in the engine.
   • Bound toolkit functions to the editor interface, enhancing the editor’s functionality.
   • Implemented rendering texture bindings to ensure proper rendering within the editor environment.

4. Testing:

   • Conducted unit tests specifically targeting the components you worked on.
   • Engaged in testing and debugging processes related to the ECS framework, shaders, and Lua binding.
   • Performance and Profiling
