What is the Nu Game Engine?
"The Nu Game Engine is the world's first practical functional 2D and 3D cross-platform game engine built in F#. It offers a declarative Elm-style programming API, as well as an algebraic ECS programming API for scalability. After finally reaching v1.3.0.4, the implementation has matured enough to prove both the efficacy and viability of functional programming techniques in games in terms of performance, programmability, and reliability. It currently utilizes SDL2, OpenGL, Aether 2D Physics, and Bullet 3D Physics."
This repository hosts several projects, including -
- the sample game 'BlazeVector'.
- the Chrono Trigger-like game demo, 'OmniBlade' available free for Windows (https://github.com/bryanedds/Nu/releases/download/v10.6.2/OmniBlade.Windows.zip) and Linux (https://github.com/bryanedds/Nu/releases/download/v10.6.2/OmniBlade.Linux.zip)
- the Final Fantasy Tactics-like WIP game prototype 'Tactics'.
Here is some media on the Nu Game Engine -
Wandering around the forest in OmniBlade.
A critical battle with evil itself!
Live editing a cutscene.
Editing a 3D scene imported from Unity in Nu's editor, Gaia.
Efficient, detailed 3D with deferred physically-based rendering.
3D scene screenshot from editor showing off the new SSAO implementation.
Local light probes allow for efficient localized reflection and image-based lighting.
Another 3D scene screenshot from editor.
And another 3D scene screenshot from editor.
The best way to get started is to clone the repository with a git client, and to take a look at the following document -
