Dagon

The goal of this project is to create a modern, easy to use, extensible 3D game engine for D language. Dagon is based on OpenGL 4.0 core profile. It works on Windows and Linux.

The engine is still under development and lacks many important features. It is currently not recommended to use Dagon in production due to API instability. Follow the development on Trello to see the priority tasks.

Dagon uses modern graphics techniques and so requires a fairly powerful graphics card to run. Turing-based NVIDIA cards are recommended (although ray tracing support is not required). The engine is only desktop, support for mobile and web platforms is not planned.

If you like Dagon, support its development on Patreon or Liberapay. You can also make a one-time donation via PayPal or NOWPayments. I appreciate any support. Thanks in advance!

Getting Started

The recommended way to start using Dagon is creating a game template with dub init. Create an empty directory for the project, cd to it and run the following:

dub init --type=dagon
dub build

Runtime Dependencies

Runtime dependencies are automatically deployed on Windows. On other platforms, you will have to install them manually.

Nuklear should be compiled as a dynamic library:

  1. Install CMake
  2. Go to extensions/nuklear/thirdparty/bindbc-nuklear-0.4.3/c/build
  3. Run cmake ..
  4. Under Linux, run make and sudo make install. libnuklear.so will be installed to /usr/local/lib
  5. Under Windows, open nuklear.vcxproj in Visual Studio and build ALL_BUILD project. Look for nuklear.dll in the Release directory.
