Rei-Engine 0.4

A simple scriptable 2D game engine

Overview

ReiEngine is intended to be a reasonably fast 2D game engine that developers can create games in with Lua. Though you may be reading this on a supposed release branch, do not be fooled. This project has not been (and may never) be released.

Using the engine

It's currently only built for Windows. All you need to do is run the ReiEngine-3.2 executable in the bin directory and have fun :D. There's no 'structure' as such to the locations for resource files and scripts, but the locations can be easily changed in the macros of the ResourceManager class (this requires rebuilding the engine though). For now, default locations for scripts assets and other things can be found in the bin folder.

Scripting

By default, the script folder must be located within the same directory as the executable, with the directory structure as shown in the default scripts folder. The EntityTypes INIT_SC and TextureLoad scripts are mandatory for the engine to load entities, scenes and textures respectively. Behaviour scripts for each entity can then be added or removed freely within the given behaviour scripts folder (default is here).

Building

Due to my drastically misinformed choice of operating system at the time, the engine is currently only built for windows. However, you're welcome to try and wangle the libraries and Lua bindings for a different OS.
