Optime VECS to have better performance. This means removing any dynamic intermediary allocation, use specialized algorithms instead of STL, optimize view creation using graphs and caches. Write extensive uint tests …

Organise trees like for scene graphs in an array so that traversing the nodes is done cache optimally. Cover Depth-first, breadth-first, parent before child. Reorgansize trees to amortize traversal - when and how does this yield a better performance? Determine the influence of the size of nodes,…
Make a Roblox-like platform where you can create your own games in a Browser and play them with your friends. Rendering is based on a WebGPU Renderer (Vienna WebGPU Engine). The Platform should be hosted by some Server, which also runs each game instance centrally and sends game state to all…
Implement complex gears in the Vienna Physics engine. Could be clock like, gear boxes, levers, etc. Split gear elements into polytopes, use constraints to glue them together to form up the gear elements. Use torques and forces to get the gear in motion.

Evaluate the potential of a Raspi Pi 5 or Raspi Zero as gaming console. This involves running Vulkan applications (GPU or Software ICD), games and a console dashboard. Try running Steam, create your own dashboard that loads and installs games and starts them.

Use the VPE to create a game that lets you create crazy robots being able to fulfil tasks in an arena. Fetch things, lift things, go upstairs, go over gaps, do the dishes, clean the house, etc. You can use any ML or other library.

Create a serious game as board game, but also as video game. Keep the message and game mechanics simple but fun and playable. Then define what the message is and how to measure it. Finally, carry out a study with participants and letting them play one of the versions, and measure the efficiency of…
Create a narrative driven game where the protagonist goes through a series of daily situations, where normal people make predictions based on stereotypes. The protagonist will think them, but every situation has a unique twist, shattering the stereotypical predictions.
After each twist the…
Implement Rust memory safety paradigms in C++. Create a complex program/game in C++ that is 100% memory safe because of these paradigms. Use as much standard C++ as possible, add your own classes. Reason about safety. Make use of Jason Turner’s and Klaus Iglbergers’s talks.
