The Black Coat Engine is a simple, straightforward 2D game engine using SFML.net and C#. The engine is designed to let programmers focus on their game without getting in the way. However each feature is just one keyword away if you need it.
Some of the work the engine handles for you:
- Render device management
- Particles
- Frame & blitting animations
- Timing and Tweening
- Scene graph management
- Live object inspection during runtime
- Automated asset management (Textures, Fonts, Sounds & Music)
- Customizable game launchers
- Vector math
- Polygon collisions
- A complete UI framework
- Input mapping for mouse, keyboard and game pads/joysticks
- In-game console with customizable commands
- and more...
Black Coat is build with:
- Create a new Winform project
- Add SFML.net via Nuget
- Download and reference the Black Coat DLL
Too fast? No problem. Take your time learning Black Coat, one tutorial at a time. Lets get started!.
See how easy it is to get the engine up and running:
using (var core = new Core(Device.Fullscreen))
{
core.SceneManager.ChangeScene(new MyScene(core));
core.Run();
}
