About the Engine

The engine is only capable of opening images of the PNM family plus the generic extension format PAM. The PNM family only allows RGB images, while the more complex PAM format allows RGB images with transparency. Although any image parser that can translate an image to RGBA can be used with the engine.

The engine allows for screen rendering, collision detection, image translation, and image rotation with cubic filtering. All screen drawing is multi-threaded.

The engine only supports .wav files for sound with 16 bit, 2 channel inputs, sampled at 44100 Hz, and encoded with PCM. The sound mixer allows an unlimited number of sounds to be played simultaneously.
