⚠️ I have decided to archive this project as I am no longer actively maintaining it.

Jackbengine

A multi-platform C++ 2D game engine.

Features

Multi-platform

The engine runs and was successfully tested on the following platforms:

• OS X, macOS
• Windows (MinGW)
• Web (Emscripten)

ECS pattern implementation

Summary of the Entity-component-system approach:

• Entities are made up of one or more components
• Components contain data to store the state of an entity
• Systems contain the logic and operate on entities that have the required components

The engine provides standard components and systems usually needed in a game:

• Components: Transform, Velocity, BoxShape, Sprite, Text, MouseListener, AudioSource etc.
• Systems: Motion, SpriteRender, TextRender, MouseEventTrigger, AABBCollision, DebugProfile, DebugSprite etc.

This collection of components and systems can be extended.

Resource management

• Resources can be loaded from files or embedded resources.
• Embedded resources can be generated using the ResourceGenerator tool.

Development information

• All targets (except Web) are compiled using CMake.
• Web targets are compiled using Emscripten and Makefiles.
• My main IDE is CLion, the powerfull cross-platform C/C++ IDE from JetBrains!

External dependencies

The engine relies on the following awesome libraries and tools:

• Emscripten
• SDL2
• SDL2_image
• SDL2_ttf
• SDL2_mixer
