A C++ game engine and development framework for PS1, featuring modules that build upon each other but are all optional. It can be used as a (relatively) high-level game engine, as a simple SDK, or even just as a build system. It's not complete or stable.
To create a project using poeng, clone poeng-template. There is also at least one example here.
For development, CLion is highly recommended if you can get it, since it fully supports modules and integrates nicely with the build system. VS Code won't work unless you can get modules to work with clangd.
To compile, a binutils and GCC 15 toolchain for mipsel-none-elf is required. To automatically build and install it from source, run make install-gcc
. It'll take a while.
Some utility commands are provided as make targets. Run make help
to list them. Here are some usage examples:
make
make test MSAN=1 DEV=1
make sendexe client IP=ip:port
