## What it is
Hell Engine is a custom C++ game engine built to power a splitscreen roguelike/deathmatch survival horror game. It features real-time raytraced global illumination computed via point clouds and light propagation through a 3D grid using custom compute shaders, plus a built-in level editor.

## Use cases
- study a from-scratch game engine with raytraced global illumination
- explore point-cloud-based indirect lighting with compute shaders
- play a splitscreen survival horror roguelike demo
- learn how voxel/point-cloud GI techniques compare in practice
- see a hobby engine integrating PhysX and skeletal animation

## When to choose
- you want to read or learn from a real custom engine implementing raytraced GI
- you're interested in experimental global illumination research in a playable game
- you want a C++/compute-shader reference for lighting propagation

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready engine with documentation and community support
- you want a stable, licensed engine for shipping a commercial game (no license provided)
- you need cross-platform support or a polished editor (menus are described as very buggy)
