=================

A 2D engine build on top of libgdx. The goal of this engine is to provide and easy to use framework which abstracts handling the low-level functions (Already mostly done by libgdx) for you.

The engine is currently under heavy development, so there will be bugs :) The following features are not compelety implemented. We also plan to implement more features as we go.

Current Features

• Slick2D like GameContainer system
  • backed by the Game Interface
  • easy to extend, all callback methods can be overriden and changed
  • provides a Graphics class which can be used in a Java2D/Slick2D like way
• World System
  • with a base Entity class
  • simple collision system (not done yet)
• Map System
  • with writing/reading maps via our own MapIO class
  • all based on Interfaces to give you to maximum flexibilty
  • (a maker is currently under development)
• Font Features
  • featrues manipulating letters for animations (jumping letters etc.)
  • (currently under changes to fit the system into libgdx)
• State Based Gaming
  • with extended handling states via GameContext
  • implements transitions to move from one state to another.
  • (currently under development)
• Game Context
  • gives you acces to Interfaces to handle the context in which a game runs
  • there are a lot of default implementations (With some missing... :/)
• Awesome Debugging
  • for Desktop the engine has a debug mechanism
  • backed by TWL http://twl.l33tlabs.org/
  • a lot of Widgets already done
