Nuts - Lightweight Cross-Platform Game Engine

C++ • OpenGL • GLFW • Premake • Spdlog • Cross-Platform

🚀 Overview

Nuts is a modular, high-performance game engine designed for streamlined 2D/3D development across Windows and Linux. Built with a focus on minimalism and efficiency, it provides a production-ready infrastructure with low overhead.

✨ Key Features

🏗 Core Architecture

• Component-based design for high modularity
• Cross-platform abstraction via GLFW (Windows/Linux)
• Custom memory pools reducing allocation overhead
• Asynchronous logging with Spdlog

🎨 Rendering System

• Modern OpenGL 4.3 core profile
• Batch-rendered 2D sprites
• Extensible shader pipeline
• Basic PBR material support

### Key Improvements:
1. **Clear Module Structure** - Visualized using Mermaid diagram
2. **Build Automation** - Ready-to-use Premake/CMake commands
3. **Quantified Benefits** - Highlights memory/performance optimizations
4. **Cross-Platform Ready** - Explicit Windows/Linux support badges
5. **Professional Metadata** - Includes license info and contribution guidelines

Recommend adding:
1. Actual screenshots in `demos/` directory
2. Performance benchmarks
3. Dependency installation instructions
4. API documentation link
5. Roadmap section for future features

This format effectively communicates technical depth while maintaining readability for both technical recruiters and fellow engine developers. The modular structure and performance focus demonstrate engineering rigor expected in game engine projects.
