Shape Engine

My custom-made engine based on the great Raylib Framework. The Main focus is being performant and only using draw functions instead of textures.When using Shape Engine everything from Raylib is available as well. (Raylib Examples, Raylib Cheatsheet)

If you want to take a look at the source code, fork the repository, or you have any issues head over to GitHub.

You can find the roadmap and current milestone of ShapeEngine here.

You are free to use Shape Engine or any part of Shape Engine for your own projects, but keep in mind that Shape Engine was designed to help me with my specific game dev needs. Nevertheless I am looking forward to creations that Shape Engine made possible :)

Major Releases

    public static void Main(string[] args)     
    {     
        var game = new MyGameClass(GameSettings.StretchMode, WindowSettings.Default);    
        game.Run();     
    }
}
public class MyGameClass : Game
{
    public MyGameClass(GameSettings gameSettings, WindowSettings windowSettings) : base(gameSettings, windowSettings) { }
    protected override void DrawGame(ScreenInfo game)
    {
        game.Area.Draw(new ColorRgba(Color.DarkOliveGreen));
        game.Area.DrawLines(12f, new ColorRgba(Color.AntiqueWhite));
        game.MousePos.Draw(24f, new ColorRgba(Color.Lime), 36);
    }
}

History

I made Shape Engine because I wanted to help myself make games with a specific art style and certain limitations. At first, it started out with some helper scripts but now it is a relatively sophisticated system to make games with raylib. Certain parts of the basic game loop are inspired by Bytepath and other things I already used in games that I made myself (especially Fracture Hell). Feel free to use any single part if you don’t want to use the whole package.
