nim-tilengine is a set of bindings for Tilengine, a free, cross-platform 2D rendering engine for creating retro-style games using tilemaps, sprites and palettes. Many oldschool tricks are supported such as palette-based animation and per-scanline raster effects. Rendering is all done in software. The implementation is efficient and can run well even on a Raspberry Pi.
The Nim bindings strip away all the cruft from the C API, becoming shorter and more readable than even the official Python bindings, while keeping native performance!
Example:
import tilengine
let engine = init(320, 180, numLayers = 4, numSprites = 128, numAnimations = 128)
let map = loadTilemap("assets/map.tmx")
Layer(0).setTilemap(map)
createWindow()
while processWindow():
drawFrame()
map.delete()
deleteWindow()
deinit()
