A small C++ Game Engine and Editor, designed for creating games in 2D. It was started as a way to learn more about game technology, computer graphics, and game engine design. It takes ideas and inspiration from other open-source engines, and is designed to be lightweight and easily modifiable.
At the moment, only Windows building is supported. Support for other platforms will be implemented at a later date.
This project is a work-in-progress, and will likely see breaking changes! Use at your own risk!
