# Onyx Engine

![Onyx Banner](.github/Banner.png)

**Onyx** is a modern, modular, and fast C++ game engine built for real-time 2D applications.  


---

## 🧩 Features

- 🔧 **Onyx Engine** – The core runtime, managing rendering, layers, and systems.
- 🖥️ **Obsidian Editor** – A standalone GUI editor powered by ImGui and Onyx for scene editing, live profiling, and asset management.
- 💡 **Glint Lighting Engine** – A flexible and performant 2D dynamic lighting system.



## Project Layout

'uaid':
    Unique asset ID: example: 12345678901234567890123456789012
    it's 32 chars long and is unique for every loaded asset.




The Engine will auto create everything. Im debating between a unity asset system, where the actual data and metadata 
are packed into one file. the other option is to have a system like Hazels, where you import a file and it will 
create a file like a Hazel asset that links to an image file or a 3d model.



```yaml


# This file is sored in a folder of the same name
# ./MyGame/MyGame.onx
# will set project root as ./MyGame/MyGame
# then will load all assets inside the ./MyGame/MyGame/Assets/MyGame.oxpk
