Aphelion Game Engine 
====================

Aphelion is a lightweight, single file 2D game engine written in C with lua scripting support.
It's designed to make it easy to create simple 2D games with minimal setup.

Features
--------

- Lua Scripting: Embed game logic in Lua with access to engine functions.
- 2D Graphics: Draw shapes, text, and images, with support for transformations.
- Audio: play sounds and music.
- Input Handling: Keyboard and mouse input support.
- Configuration: Easy configuration via a simple text file.
- Resource Management: Automatic loading and unloading of resources.
- Math Utilities: Common math functions for game development.

Getting Started
---------------

Requirements:
- C Compiler 
- RayLib: https://www.raylib.com/
- Lua 5.4+: https://www.lua.org/

Make sure both RayLib and Lua are installed and accessible to your compiler.

Building
--------

To build the engine, simply compile the `Aphelion.c` file with your C compiler, linking against RayLib and Lua. For example:

```bash
gcc -o aphelion Aphelion.c -lraylib -llua -lm
```

You can also use the provided Makefile if available.

Making your first game
----------------------

1. Create a configuration file (config.aphdat):
```
title = My First Game
author = Alice Dev
width = 1280
height = 720
fps = 60
script = game.lua
fullscreen = false
vsync = true
```

2. Write your game script (game.lua):
```lua
function game_init()
    print("Hello from Aphelion!")
end

function game_update()
    engine.draw_background(30, 30, 30)
    engine.draw_text_centered("Welcome to Aphelion!", 640, 360, 32, 255, 255, 255)
end
```

3. Run the engine:
```bash
./aphelion config.aphdat
```
