RADAMN (Render asynchronous Damn, good!)

2D Rendering (game) engine. Cross-platform, currently: linux & windows & browsers (firefox, chrome, IE soon). Based on some HTML concepts like Canvas or Input management(DomEvents) with toon of sugar on top!. Powered by nodejs, v8 and Mootools. Rendering: OpenGL (2+) current, OpenglES(1+) in plan to support mobile.

0. Installation

##Build

Compile (tested on windows)

npm install node-gyp
node-gyp configure build

Common errors:

..\..\..\deps\SDL2\src\audio\xaudio2\SDL_xaudio2.c(31): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'dxsdkver.h': No such file or directory [C:\noboxout\radamn\build\deps\SDL2\SDL2.vcxproj]

Go to /deps/SDL2/sdl.gyp and edit the include dirs, add the proper DX SDK

After this, some packages are needed

npm install node-class
npm install express #needed to run the webexamples
npm install sax #needed for TMX files

1. API

The proyect is not mature enough to start documenting.

2. Todo list

Priority

Port to SDL 2, OpenGL 3.2 (this make master unstable right now!!!)
Sprites (batch rendering) canvas extension to render multiple images into rectangles in one opengl call
drag&drop @Radamn.Node
better mouse events
Radamn should be the center of all event handling, keyboard, joystick, mouse and window events.

Someday/sometime

platforms: IOS, Android, MacOS (should work)
Search a proper audio library. SDL_mixer is not enough. OpenAl could be good IOS/Android support ?

Demo/Examples

Line rendering
Font rendering
Input management
Physics (some) using BOX2DWeb
Tween, animation path will be soon included
TMX isometric and orthogonal, orthogonal+scroll, orthogonal+scroll+physics and TMX objects
Math unit test, colissions (a bit buggy)

3. About

The proyect has three layers, two for me, one for you :)

C/C++ [CRadamn / CLand]: SDL, OpenGL, Font, Audio, nodejs
Javascript Framework [JRadamn]: Provide a proper API on top of CRadamn. This will deal with browser/nodejs compatibility.
Javascript User land, where you will write your code, platform/browser independent all in Javascript!

Radamn will provide a 2D game engine/rendering layer OPENGL based (currently OPENGL, OPENGLES-2 planned)

Plaforms:

Linux (fully supported)
MacOS (not tested)
Windows (fully supported, in some systems there are input problems, keyboard only)
Browser (fully compatible Firefox, Chrome, need to test ie9/10). I will focus on this after frozen the API.

The full API will be public soon.
