Quick Overview
- cross-platform: PC/Windows, PC/Linux
- many ready-to-use libraries
- entity system, accessible from C++ and scripting languages like Lua, with state machines, dynamic events and more
- abstract components with pluggable backends for physics, graphics, input, audio and scripting
- loaders for graphics and physical scenes, with complex models and vehicles
- create complex vehicles using the dotVehicle format
- flexible design, application-independent, genre-independent
- rendering plugin: OGRE
- physics plugin: ODE, Novodex/Ageia Physx (deprecated)
- scripting plugin: Lua
- audio plugin: OpenAL, FMOD
- input plugin: OIS, OGRE
By Library
yake::base
- container helpers & wrappers
- OS specific wrappers for timers, dynamic library loading and other common functionality
- generic id-based pluggable registries/factories
- build configuration
- configuration files
- other common functionality
yake::log
- logging library with pluggable backends (console, file, …)
yake::math
- basic functionality for curves: line, polyline, spline
- random number generator
- vectors, quaternions, matrices
yake::physics
- API independent
- shapes: trimeshes, planes, boxes, spheres, capsules (+ API dependent)
- joints: fixed, hinge, ball, slider …
- breakable joints
- motors, thrusters and more
- materials (per-shape)
- feedback via signals and/or event handlers for collisions, joint-breaking and stepping
- loading of XODE XML files
- XODE exporter for 3dsmax (included in Octopus for 3dsmax)
- plugins: ODE, Novodex/Ageia Physx (deprecated)
- data-driven component for complex vehicles: see yake::vehicle for more details.
yake::graphics
- API independent
- node based scene graphs
- objects like entities, lights, cameras etc
- serialization via dotScene and related file formats
- dotScene exporter for 3dsmax (included in Octopus for 3dsmax)
- plugins: OGRE
yake::scripting
- API independent
- virtual machine (VM) and script interfaces
- abstract binder hook mechanism
- plugins: Lua
yake::bindingsLua
- provides Lua bindings for Yake libraries
yake::input
- API independent
- provides management of devices (keyboard, mouse, joystick)
- flexible configurable action maps
- plugins: OGRE, OIS
yake::audio
- API independent
- provides audio worlds with sources and listeners etc
- plugins: OpenAL, FMOD
yake::msg
- id based messaging framework
- listeners, handlers, managers, queues, …
yake::fsm
- experimental templated finite state machine
- templated states and transitions
yake::model
- high-level model system
- manages graphical, physical, audible and other kinds of submodels
- pluggable inter-model relationships and interactions
- data-driven design
- serialization via dotLink, dotModel and other file formats (e.g. dotScene, XODE, OSM)
- extensive exporting capabilities for 3dsmax (included in Octopus for 3dsmax)
yake::vehicle
- data-driven (easy to add exporting capabilities to modellers using the dotVehicle format)
- flexible vehicle template system for all sub components
- pluggable backends for certain components (like “ray wheels” and “spherical wheels” etc)
- supports vehicles made of any combination of ground, air and space vehicle components
- available vehicle components include: mount points, engines (thrusters, car engine), mountable thrusters, wheels, axles, steering groups and more.
- basic feedback hooks (for example for controlling gfx particle systems for skidding wheels)
- design allows to plugin different controllers (AI, human, networked…)
yake::raf
- application framework
- easy configuration
- predefined application states for common use cases
- extensible design for integration into other applications
yake::ent
- high-level entity based simulations
- feedback & scripting hooks
- static & dynamic entity events
- dynamic entity properties
- dynamic entity state management
- any number of scripting / virtual machines per entity
- flexible defintion of behaviour using native C++ and/or any number of scripts per entity
- pluggable scripting providers
- client/server states, events and properties (partly work-in-progress!)
yake::object
- generic (template based) library for managing objects and meta class ids
- extensible and configurable
- is used in Yake's entity and network components, for example.
yake::loader
- commonly used parsers (dotScene, XODE etc)
yake::gui2
- basic gui implementation using yake::graphics and OGRE
yake::qt
- Qt support library
- multi-edit capable widgets (line edit, check boxes, etc.)
- property browser
- a Yake-themed Qt style
yake::qtogre
- library for enabling Qt and OGRE to render within the same window
