3D Engine

A custom 3D engine built using C++, OpenGL, and SDL2. This engine provides a foundation for rendering 3D graphics with real-time performance.

Features to be implemented

• OpenGL-based rendering: Uses modern OpenGL for efficient 3D rendering
• SDL2 integration: Handles windowing, input, and event management
• Camera system: Free look & movement with keyboard and mouse
• Lighting support: Basic Phong shading implementation
• Basic 3D object loading: Supports OBJ models
• Cross-platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Custom shader support: Load and manage GLSL shaders
• Frame rate control: Adjustable FPS cap with delta time
