Simple API for 2D games, built around Sprite and App::update

Client programs should implement App::update to execute game logic and add instances of Sprite to App::sprites and App::ui_sprites. At each frame, all sprites are drawn to the screen.

This system relies on two cameras App::world_camera and App::ui_camera.

  • App::world_camera applies a perspective effect to draw the game world. This camera is designed to be moved around to see the world as well as to zoom in and out. It is used to position the sprites in App::sprites.

  • App::ui_camera is a simple orthogonal camera to display UI objects. This camera should mostly be still, it can still move for chock effects and the like. It can be used to standardize the size of the UI across devices. It is used to position the sprites in App::ui_sprites.

See the sample game at contrib/asteronits/ and the basic project template at lib/gamnit/examples/template/.
