Data Driven Game Engine

This is a Game Engine, I made for our course in FIEA, designed to parse a game world from an XML file. I used the Expat C library to parse XML files. The primary objectives of this project

To learn how game engines are structured.
To learn advanced concepts of C++.
To see how compiler structures are made.
To learn asynchronous programming.
To better understand how the STL library is designed.
To implement complete unit testing practices.

I made custom container classes for Singly Linked List, Vector and Hashmap.
For the engine, I created the Datum structure along with the Scope, to handle data read from XML file.
These structures are then extended by the World, Sector, Entity, Action hierarchy to allow for definition of structures using the XML scripting system.
These game objects use the Factory pattern to allow to be named at runtime.
The Action class can be used to create actions that can either extend C++ functionality like a ‘while loop’ or ‘if condition’ or make something specific to the game, like move an entity.
An Asynchronous Event system was then made for the engine, that is also accessible by XML.

I have provided more information about the structure and the features of the project on github below.
