Safi Game Engine

    Prerequisites

    Required Tools

    • Mono — mcs compiler + mono runtime
    • clang++ — C++ compiler with C++17 support
    • Vulkan SDK — Vulkan headers, validation layers, and glslc shader compiler
    • GLFW — windowing and input library
    • GLM — OpenGL Mathematics library

    macOS (Homebrew)

    # Install Mono
brew install mono

# Install Vulkan SDK (includes glslc, MoltenVK)
brew install --cask vulkan-sdk

# Install GLFW and GLM
brew install glfw glm

    Verify everything is installed:

    mcs --version        # Mono C# compiler
mono --version       # Mono runtime
glslc --version      # Shader compiler
brew list glfw glm   # Libraries

    Optional — IDE IntelliSense

    For C# autocomplete, go-to-definition, and error checking in VS Code (or other IDEs), install the .NET SDK and run:

    dotnet restore

    This generates the project assets that the C# language server needs. The .sln and .csproj are for IDE support only — the actual build uses mcs via the Makefile.

    Windows & Linux

    Work in Progress

    Windows and Linux builds are not yet supported. See the cross-platform roadmap for planned support.
