xmake-repo VS CRYENGINE

xmake [1] gives you something like this via `xrepo env shell`.

This project should also soon be available on xrepo, right now you can copy the headers or use the package in `package.lua` to install.

Yes, although the documentation seems bare-bones, the code looks clean.

The xmake package repository files might be useful also for people interested in making their own package manager, or even installing by hand.

Here is the package information for autoconf, for instance:

https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake-repo/blob/master/packages/...

It has download links, checksums for specific versions, and the Lua syntax seems easy to parse.

The package for NanoVG however, does not indicate anywhere that you need the GLEW and GLFW libraries:

https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake-repo/blob/master/packages/...

Therefore, if the official xmake-repo repository already provides the required package, you can use it directly without specifying the package namespace.

I written a c/c++ package manager https://xrepo.xmake.io/#/

Currently, we have included the following toolchain packages in the xmake-repo repository, allowing xmake to pull and integrate remotely:

Here's the github page for xrepo: https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake-repo

False. See for yourself. They openly state that you can "Use CRYENGINE for free. 5% royalty applies when you ship your project. Your first $5K annual revenue per project is royalty-free.".

yeah, I think you're right there. I know the feeling of being on the other side of the problem, so I can relate with the crytek guys. they need to get their shit together, sure, but they are human beings and these problems are really hard. I mean, head over to github, there's a version of the cryengine there for you to read and comprehend if you like. check out the collision detection :)

I'd wager that somewhere around 99% of games for sale on Steam from large shops to small indie games are either created with Unity, Unreal Engine, or CryEngine (Amazon's Lumberyard is a close relative of CryEngine).

I have very high hopes for Godot. Besides, if you're the sole developer of a side project, you don't want to use what the AAA titles use. Have you seen the length of the credits on those things? If that's the path you want to go down, then you might as well give the cryengine a go, get yourself a license to some mocap software, etc lol

Unreal Engine, Valve Source Engine, Crytec, and Unity are the big ones. I suspect that’s what people mean when they say this. There are a few others, but they are either used in less popular games, or they are proprietary engines that are not publicly available like the Snowdrop Engine. I know some PC games would ship with the editor too, although it’s been a long time since I’ve done any mod work, so I don’t know if that’s still the case.

The proprietary options of Unity, GameMaker Studio 2, Unreal Engine, and CRYENGINE.
