A 2d game engine built on top of SDL2 using C++.

• Asset Manager
  • Load images, music, sound, and fonts.
  • Unloads assets and frees the memory.
  • Assets are loaded into a map and can be fetched with a key supplied when loading.
• Window Manager
  • Contains renderer and window along with associated metadata.
  • Handles updating the window state at runtime.
• Input Manager
  • Detects user input state.
  • All instantiated input components are registered automatically on init behind the scenes.
  • Input states are mapped to input component "action" lamdas.
  • WIP: click and drag, multi-click, and other modified input detection and handling.
• Module System
  • Games are created externally to the engine code using a "KilnModule".
  • KilnModules can stack multiple submodules, useful for opening an in-game menu while keeping the game state active or paused.
• TOML config loader
  • Engine configuration loaded easily using a TOML file.
• ECS
  • An entity-component system for easily creating functionality.
  • Easily bind components with a binding constructor or the "bind" method.
• Custom math library
  • Includes a templated Vector class, interpolation, normalization, and various other operations
  • Still growing as needs arise!

Currently only tested in Linux.

1. Ensure you have SDL2, SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_mixer. (these libs will be included in the future).
2. Clone and cd into cloned dir, making sure to aquire git submodules.
3. $ cmake .
4. $ make
5. $ ./Kiln
