Platformer engine

The Platformer engine is a game engine that I am currently developing. It is written in Java and is designed specifically for creating 2D platformer games. The engine consists of two main components: a level designer and a player. The level designer allows players to create and design their own levels, incorporating custom assets, animations, and real-time physics elements. Additionally, the engine employs advanced collision detection techniques to provide a more realistic and immersive gaming experience. As this project is still a work in progress, it is currently my most complex and ambitious project. It involves three main components in its design.

Level renderer >

This project is a performant, built-from-scratch level renderer that uses smart tricks to enable the use of fully HD textures. This allows developers to create highly detailed levels that are rich in texture and detail. The use of smart tricks helps to optimize the performance of the renderer, ensuring that levels can be rendered quickly and efficiently. Overall, this level renderer is a valuable resource for developers looking to create visually stunning levels that are rich in detail and texture.

Level designer >

This platformer engine includes a feature-rich level designer that allows players and developers to create, edit, and share their own levels. Built from scratch, this level designer provides a wide range of options and customization tools that enable users to create levels that are unique and tailored to their specific needs and preferences. Whether you're a player looking to design your own levels for personal enjoyment or a developer seeking to create levels for a larger project, this level designer is a valuable resource that can help you to bring your ideas to life.

Entity/player systems >

This engine is equipped with a wide range of functions and features that make it a powerful and flexible tool for game development. Some of the notable features include a detailed physics engine, which is essential for creating realistic and immersive gameplay experiences. Other features may include advanced graphics and rendering capabilities, robust AI systems, and support for a wide range of input devices. These features, along with many others, make this engine a valuable resource for developers looking to create engaging and immersive games that can be enjoyed by players around the world.
