AterraEngine is a data-driven game engine built in C# using Raylib.cs for rendering. Designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind, it supports modding capabilities out of the box, allowing users to easily modify and extend the engine’s functionality.
- Data-Driven Architecture: The engine is structured to load game data from external files, making it easier to create, modify, and manage game content.
- Mod-Friendly: Mods can be loaded dynamically, making AterraEngine ready for user-created content with no additional overhead.
- Raylib.cs Rendering: Leverages the lightweight and powerful Raylib library for 2D and eventual 3D (on the roadmap, but not natively implemented yet) rendering, enabling fast and efficient graphics.
- Customizable Game Logic: Game developers can easily inject custom behaviors and systems, thanks to the engine’s modular design.
AterraEngine is built around a flexible data-driven design. Key components include:
- Entity Component System (ECS): A custom built ECS framework,
AterraCore.Nexitiesmanages game objects as entities composed of reusable components. - Rendering Engine: Powered by Raylib.cs to provide efficient 2D and 3D rendering.
- Dependency Injection: The entire engine, even the ECS framework, is built around dependency injection, making it easy to extend or override core game behavior through plugins.
- Plugins and loadorder: Allowing players to define their own load order of plugins built by the gamedevs or modders.
