🎮 VSCode Game Engine (VGE) – My new project

I am happy to introduce my new project: the VSCode Game Engine (VGE)! 🎮

VGE's vision is to enable game development directly in VSCode - without external tools or complex installations. Everything from scene editing to the asset pipeline to the build system runs seamlessly within the familiar VSCode environment.

🎯 Main functions

• 2D/3D Scene Editor: Complete scene editor with gizmos, multi-view and real-time preview
• Asset pipeline: Import for models, textures, audio, fonts and more
• Multi-Language Scripting: TypeScript, JavaScript, C#, Lua, Python, Rust and more
• Advanced Rendering: PBR, Post-Processing, Lighting, Shadows and Volumetrics
• Animation System: Skeleton animations, blend trees, state machines and timeline
• Terrain Editor: Heightmap sculpting, painting, foliage and erosion

🚀 Other features

• Physics Engine: Rapier.rs for deterministic 2D/3D physics
• AI & Navigation: NavMesh Baking, Behavior Trees and State Machines
• Audio System: Audio mixer, DSP effects and spatial audio
• UI System: Canvas-based UI with layout groups and events
• Networking: Multiplayer with WebRTC and WebSocket
• Build System: Export for web, desktop, mobile and console

📋 Build Targets

Web (WebGL2/WebGPU), Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Steam, itch.io

🗺️ Roadmap

• Phase 1: Core Architecture – Extension Setup, Core Services, WebView Panels
• Phase 2: Asset Pipeline – Import System, Asset Browser, Thumbnail Generation
• Phase 3: Scene System – Entity Component System, Inspector, Hierarchy
• Phase 4: Rendering & Physics – 3D/2D Renderer, Physics Engine, Animation
