Whiskers Engine

Whiskers Engine

Whiskers Engine is a studio side project: a modern C++ game engine built for performance and extensibility—Entity–Component–System (ECS) design, OpenGL 3.3 Core rendering, CMake-based builds, and a path toward Vulkan. It is open source under the MIT License.

Stellar Whiskers itself is a free browser games site (puzzle, strategy, card, and arcade). Whiskers Engine is not that product—it powers some companion/desktop titles such as Magicor listed under Also available.

What you’ll find on GitHub

  • Cross-platform desktop support (macOS, Linux, Windows) with SDL2-style tooling in the README
  • ECS architecture, renderer abstraction, and a playable space demo
  • Roadmap covering Vulkan, richer graphics, and longer-term research areas described in the repository
