This was just a fun learning project. I am not working on it anymore.
Wolf-Gang Engine
This is 2d engine that is meant to provide a simple platform for creating your own 2d games quick and easy. It takes a lot of inspiration from Yoyo's GameMaker.
It is still under heavy development so there isn't much to show here but here's a list of goals in mind:
- Versatile and easy to use editor.
- Project files that work nice with git.
- Flexible scripting using Lua.
Building should be quite simple. It uses modern C++17 features so you are required to use the latest GCC 7, Clang 7, and VS 2017 15.7 compilers in order to compile this project correctly.. 3rdparty libraries are compiled as part of this project's source to ensure you have the correct version.
Dependencies:
- Latest compiler with C++17 compliance (GCC 7, Clang 7, and VS 2017 15.7)
- CMake
Clone the repository and cd to the new directory. The --recursive
is important here because it will clone and initialize the submodules as well. I might consider just inlining those third party libraries if it becomes too much of an inconvenience so any feedback is welcome.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/clman94/Wolf-Gang-Engine.git
cd Wolf-Gang-Engine
Create a build directory to store the files generated by CMake.
mkdir ./build
cd build
Generate the project.
cmake ..
If you are using an IDE, open the project and make sure to set the "Startup project" to the WolfGangEngine Project and that should be it!
This project is under the very permissive MIT license so you can modify and redistribute as appropriate for your project. I do advise that you mention when you use code from this engine or use the engine to develop your game. Maybe even send your own improvements as pull-requests. :)
