Ouzel engine

[elvman]

Hello! As you maybe know, I have been developing games with Irrlicht for some time (10 years already :O). I have switched to 2D games a few years ago and I experimented with Irrlicht and cocos2d-x a lot in 2D field. As I weren't satisfied with none of them (lack of platform support, architecture problems etc.), I decided to write my own 2D engine. So here is my 2D engine named "Ouzel" on Github. I have been working on it for a bit more than 7 months and have made one game with it – The Bear Slayer (available on Greenlight). So please feel free to try my engine, fork it and give me your suggestions. Thanks!

Pretty cool, just looking at the repository now. I'll add my more thoughts later.

EDIT:

Have you considered doing dependency injecton using a proper framework instead of using a singleton of SharedEngine? (in example the renderer could be automatically injected instead of retrieving it from sharedEngine, anyway your solution avoid the cost of having 1 extra member stored inside the class) nice code base by the way, very polished and SOLID, liked it and starred. .

Thanks! I planned to do the dependency injection at first, but hey, how many engine instances will you have at once? And as you mentioned, it would add additional field in every class and would make using the engine more complicated. Also most of the "engines" (including Unreal Engine 4) use singleton pattern, so I am ok with that.

Are forks wellcome?

[elvman]

Forks are always welcome

Excellent! Does it support non-POT textures?

[elvman]

Yes, it supports them, but non-POT texture mip-mapping is disabled for OpenGL ES, because most of the ES hardware does not support them.

Starting from v.0.17, Ouzel engine supports Android platforms. So now the supported platforms are: Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS, tvOS and Android.

A lot of work has been done and now Ouzel engine also supports wav file playback, texture filtering, v-sync, NEON, SSE and has a Raspberry Pi support.

Just released a version 0.24 of the Ouzel engine. A lot has been done since the previous releases, texture filtering, v-sync, sound engine (XAudio2, OpenAL, OpenSL ES backends), UTF-8 text rendering, MSAA, empty (NONE) video and audio drivers, touch support on Windows and lots of optimizations

Also the engine now supports Emscripten target so it can be run in your browser (see the samples here: http://www.ouzelengine.org/samples/).
