Flex Engine is a personal cross-platform game engine written in C++ with a Vulkan rendering backend, built as a playground for learning real-time rendering and simulation techniques. It includes a scene editor, in-game scripting language with a virtual machine, and advanced rendering features like PBR, SSAO, cascaded shadow mapping, and GPU particle simulation.

Use cases

• study how a Vulkan renderer is implemented
• learn real-time rendering techniques like PBR and SSAO
• explore game engine architecture in C++
• see GPU-based particle simulation with compute shaders
• build a personal game engine project for learning
• implement cascaded shadow mapping or temporal anti-aliasing

When to choose

• you want readable source code to learn Vulkan and real-time rendering
• you need a reference implementation of PBR, SSAO, or shadow mapping techniques
• you are studying how game engine editors, scripting VMs, and profilers fit together

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready engine for shipping games
• you want community support, documentation, or frequent updates
• you need cross-platform support beyond Windows and Linux
