VoltstroEngine
Voltstro Engine is C#, (currently only) 2D game engine, using (also currently only) OpenGL.
Please note that:
- This is made by a single hobbyist/student in their spare time
- This is still in VERY early development, you shouldn't use this in a production game
Features
Here are some features the VoltstroEngine supports, obviously, things will change and new features will be added.
- Completely done in C#
- Uses .NET Core 3.1
- One copy of the engine can run multiple copies of the game (like how sourcemods work)
- Easy to make a game using the engine
Building
Prerequisites
You will need:
- Powershell Core 7.x
- .NET Core SDK 3.1
- An IDE
- Solution/Workspace files for Visual Studio, Rider and VS Code are provided, ready to go
- Visual Studio 2019 the recommend IDE to use, if you have a platform compatible
Getting the project
You will need to clone the project recursively using git:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Voltstro/VoltstroEngine.git
Compiling
Once you have your prerequisites sorted out, go to src/ and open up VoltstroEngine.sln (or VoltstroEngine.code-workspace with VS code).
Once the solution/workspace is opened, build the ENTIRE solution, you can do this by right clicking on the solution, and clicking 'Build Solution', or in VS Code by running the build task provided.
The built engine will be placed into the game/bin/(Configuration)/ directory.
Were from now?
There are some guides (such as how to create a game) on the wiki.
