Terra is a high performance 2D game engine built in C++ and SDL with integrated support for Lua scripting. I worked on the project to learn and polish my C++ skills and to better understand the workings of game development.
Here is a list of the features currently supposed by Terra:
- Dynamic Camera movement
- Keyboard input handling
- File loading
- BMP sprite assets
- Custom animations
- Projectile mechanics
- Collision physics
- Text Rendering
- UI elements(Radars, HUDs)
- Lua script support
- Custom map editor
More prototypes developed in the engine will be pushed to the repository soon.
Also, I will be adding detailed instrutions on how to write your own Lua scripts specifying game parameters to pass in to the engine.
You will need to clone the repository to try it out.
Run the makefile with make build to compile the project.
Execute the compiled game.exe executable directly or with make run to see a prototype of a top-down tank shooting game prototype created in the engine.
