C++ Custom Hashing Implementation
October 6, 2025
How to use hashing functionality with custom data structs
The Midnight Engine has been worked on and off for about 3 months. It's beign developed
in C++ and right now it uses OpenGL, glfw, glm and stb_image (glfw, and glm are
gonna be replaced at some point. Replacing stb_image is gonna be trickier but we'll see)
Its current goal is to help me develop a 3D platformer nicknamed "Girl With A Stick" (named like that in honor of a cancelled Insomniac game with the same codename).
Just to remember what I had in mind: the main setting of the game is a prehistoric/tribal world with advanced technology. The stick acts as a catalyst or nexus, enabling the use of various 'weapons' and 'gadgets.'
The image I have in mind right now is of the main character, (Maya?), hovering while grabbing the stick with both her hands and feet. Or maybe just hanging with her hands? IDK
