Euskit is a game engine designed for game jams. It is suitable for quick prototyping of 2D games.
When participating a jam, you don't wanna spend the first three hours
for basic plumbing stuff, and your finished game gotta be lean and
playable with a minimal requirement. With Euskit, you can get a simple
game up and running with just 200 lines of code. And it's pretty darn
lightweight. Everyone can play it on a browser. Plus it's written in
TypeScript, so you don't have to sweat in the last minutes while
you're making a tiny change which has a typo and causes the entire
program flooded with NaN or undefined. It only supports old-timey
2D games, but hey, I can be opinionated, right?
By the way, there's no special editor or metadata needed. You only
need Emacs (or vim) for writing a game (other than tsc of course).
Everything is simple and straightforward and transparent, and there's
absolutely no magic OH GOD I HATE MAGIC. The library is standalone,
i.e. there's no external dependency, no node_modules hell or webpack
crap either. A compiled game is just one .js file and one .html
file (and pngs and mp3s when you need them). I've created more than
50 games with this thing, so this isn't entirely a pipe dream. And you
can do it too.
This engine was named by Mr. Rat King.
