Marble Marcher is a video game demo built on a fractal physics engine with fully procedural rendering, where players roll a marble across ray-marched fractal surfaces to reach a flag across 24 levels. It is written in C++ using Eigen and SFML, and is no longer under active development in this repository.

Use cases

  • play a physics game with procedurally rendered fractal levels
  • study a real-time raymarching fractal renderer
  • explore fractal physics engine implementation in C++
  • speedrun 24 unique fractal marble levels
  • learn how to combine SFML with GPU shader-based rendering

When to choose

  • you want a unique fractal-based physics game experience
  • you need a reference implementation of real-time raymarched rendering
  • you want to contribute to the community edition fork

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software
  • you want a general-purpose game engine
  • you need cross-platform mobile or web support
