Learn how to create a 2D platformer shooter in an arcade style with C and OpenGL.

The purpose of this game, engine, and series is to teach how to create a game without using a 3rd party engine.

The point is to show that one does not need to build every feature or create the most complex, general solutions to problems in order to have a shippable product.

• The most efficient or flexible way to solve problem X.
• A replacement for a general 3rd party engine.

Everything on this list will be or has been implemented in the video series, and exists in one form or another in this codebase.

• Simple sprite rendering with OpenGL.
• Simple physics integration.
• AABB discrete and continuous collision detection and response.
• Custom serialisation (handling configuration file).
• Sound mixing.
• Simple entity system.

I have created or are working on these features in my current game project which uses a forked version of this engine. If there is enough interest I may create tutorials for them in the future. I will post a video and poll at the end of the current series.

• Batch renderer.
• Tile-based levels.
• Custom memory allocators.
• Custom vector math library.
• Custom immediate mode UI library.
• Scene management.
• Decoupled game loop.
