SDL Game Engine
The SDL Game Engine (or SGE in short) is a high level multi platform 2d
game engine. It is current in a very basic state and API calls may or
may not change in the future. SGE is work in progress, so you should
check the Sge2d Sourceforge page regularly.
Note: due to a name conflict the Sourceforge project is named sge2d
So why another 2D game engine you may ask, and the answer is easy:
because I did not find one that fit my needs. This engine is geared
towards multi platform developement and, differently than most engines,
we do not treat "multiplatform" as linux, Mac and Windows only.
It runs on little and big endian systems and currently supports Linux,
BSD, Windows (through mingw), gp2x crosscompilation (on Linux),
Syllable, MorphOS and AmigaOS 4. For the near(er) future it is planned to also get it
running (if not already) on AmigaOS 3, AROS, MacOSX and SkyOS. The
porting should be easy, as these are its requirements:
- Low number of dependencies. It only requires C, SDL, SDL_image and
SDL_mixer.
- Custom build system. Should be portable to any platform where make is
available by copying a config file and (maybe) changing a bunch of
variables.
The main features for now are:
- Game states
- Encrypted data files
- Pixel exact sprite collision
- Animated sprites supporting waypoints as a animation path
- Basic drawing functions
- Easy API and helpful macros to speed up development
