FramesEngine - In development

A lightweight c++ game engine library based on SFML

Currently a Windows-only DLL but I plan to make a linux version aswell

The Basics

Implementing the engine files

The engine can be utilized with by including the "root.hpp" file as follows:

#include "Frame/root.hpp"

Make sure that the linker includes the "engine.lib" file

Initializing the engine

Then you can itilialize an engine class like this

engine::Game g(60[^1],120[^2],false[^3]);

Creating an object instance

There are currently 5 constructors for an engine::GameObject which can all be created afterward with any of the following:

GameObject(Game* game);
GameObject(PolygonCollider* col, Game* game);
GameObject(floatPolygon polygon, Game* game);
GameObject(floatPolygon polygon, PolygonCollider* col, Game* game);
GameObject(float radius, float colliderRadius, Game* game);

and then followed by engine.registerObject(GameObject * obj, bool toUI);

However both of these steps can be combined by calling makeObject on an engine::Game with any of the following:

GameObject* makeObject(int layer, floatPolygon polygon, bool toUI);
GameObject* makeObject(int layer, floatPolygon polygon, PolygonCollider* col, bool toUI);
GameObject* makeObject(int layer, float radius, bool toUI);
GameObject* makeObject();

By default these functions will create a pink triangle that should be rendered on the screen, but objects can be customized by the parameters and member functions of the engine::GameObject.

Examples

This is an example of the most basic code that will make the engine function

#include "Frame/root.hpp"

int main() {
	engine::Game g(60,120,false); // 60 fps max, 120 ups max

	while (g.windowActive()) {
		g.update();
		g.render();
	}
 
	return 0;
}

This example should generate a falling magenta triangle

#include "Frame/root.hpp"

int main() {
	engine::Game g(60,120,false);
	engine::GameObject *obj = g.makeObject();
	obj->getTransform()->setPosition(sf::Vector2f(100,100));
	g.physicsSettings.gravitySpeed = 1;
	obj->getTransform()->isPhysical = true;

	while (g.windowActive()) {
		g.render();
		g.update();
	}
 
	return 0;
}
