Corax engine
The Corax engine is a 2d adventure side scroller video game engine. It work with a strict cordinate system based on a grid. The sprites movements are locked on that grid. All the event systems, hitmaps system and animation data are following that grid. However the grid size can be set by project.
- Currently built around PyGame2 framework
- 2d Hand drawn animations gameplay
- Gameplay strictly locked on a grid (eg Prince of Persia)
Crackle script
Game story scripting is using the engine langage: crackle. Very basic langage which allow to script action under multiple condition:
script go_to_tente_with_sword // script definition
key UP is pressed // first indent are the conditions
scene is forest_01 // "and" operator is the one used implicitly
player whitecrow: sheet is whitecrowparrot_sword.json
player whitecrow: animation is idle
player whitecrow: hitmap foot in zone tente
player whitecrow: play tidy_up_sword // second indent are actions executed
run go_to_tente // is all conditions are true
