Rekwarfare engine (really more of a framework)

A 2D game framework that utilizes SDL2 and OpenGL.

(Not completely done yet!)

What is it for?

Ideally, any 2D game that doesn't need best-of-the-industry-features-and-tech.

What are its features?

Not much, I'm developing this to be very generic and "barebones"-ish. Also keep in mind that I've setup some things to fit my needs as well.

But you can enjoy:

• SDL and OpenGL initialization (and SDL destruction, if you're worried)
• SDL Window handling
• Texture handling
• TTF Font handling
• Audio handling

Wait, why is it "Not completely done yet"?

I wrote a lot of this code a while ago, and my needs and programming practices have changed.

So, because of that, I need to clean up some code and reorganize as well, but along with that I'm also adding more features and fixes.

Dependencies

SDL2

SDL2_image

SDL2_ttf

SDL2_mixer

(Your system should already have this) OpenGL

Building

Building is pretty simple, feel free to modify the CMakeLists.txt to fit your needs.

Windows

Clone the repository, make a separate directory to have build files, then build from that directory.

Requires CMake and a C++ compiler such as MinGW.

So you should do something like this:

1- Clone/download the source

2- Create a separate directory to have build files

3- Open command prompt and navigate to that directory

4- cmake <source directory> -G "MinGW Makefiles"

5- mingw32-make

Linux

Pretty simple, just clone repository, have a separate directory to have build files, then build from that directory.

Requires CMake (and git if you don't already have it)!

So following the instructions, you should do something like this:

git clone https://github.com/rodrun/rekwarfare-engine.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake <path to rekwarfare-engine repository>
make

Starting off

I try my best to make the engine simple to use. To get a window started up and running you can do the following:

#include "Rekwarfare.hpp"
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    using namespace rw;
    // Feel free to change any of these parameters
    initializeSDL(INIT_EVERYTHING, IMG_PNG, MIX_MP3);
    Window window("A window!", WINDOWPOS_UNDEF, WINDOWPOS_UNDEF, 800, 400);
    initializeOpenGL(2, 1, window());
    while (window.isRunning()) {
        while (window.getEventPollingState() != 0) {
            window.pollWindowEvents(); // Handle main window events
            switch (window.e) {
                // Check for some window events for yourself if you'd like
            }
        }
        window.clear();
        // Do some stuff here such as rendering
        window.update();
    }
    destroySDL();
}

Remember that everything is within the namespace 'rekwarfare' or 'rw'.

As of right now, documentation is in the source code, but I will be writing actual docs once I believe that this project is "finished enough."
