$12.50 Reward July - New Engine Code

Added 2019-07-23 20:03:23 +0000 UTC

Hi guys,

As mentioned in the post above, I've been getting started with the new engine that I'll be using for my next game. It's still super early in development and there's not a whole lot to see yet, but you can download and take a look at the code using this link:

To get it working in Eclipse just start a new project, copy the "src" and "res" folders into the project's folder, and then add the relevant jar files to the build path in Eclipse. You need to add all the jars provided in the "jars" folder, plus the jars for your OS from the "OS Specific jars" folder. Here's a quick video demonstrating this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jxl92yn8p776fq0/How%20to%20set%20up%20engine.wmv?dl=0

The new engine uses LWJGL 3 and is quite a bit better planned out and tidier than the engine I was using for Equilinox. Having said that, the stuff in the "thinmatrix.testing" packages is just being used to test out the engine, so some of it is a bit messier than the actual engine code in the "thinmatrix.engine" packages ;)

Again, it's all very basic stuff for now with some super simple rendering, some basic UI stuff, and input/display handling but hopefully some of you will find something something interesting in there. There should hopefully be some more interesting things to check out next month when I've worked on it a bit more!
