2D Game Engine

A 2D game engine for creating platformer, side-scrolling games created by our Gaming Frameworks class team of 5 at university in 2017. In class, we were learnding about game engine software architechtures, and this 2D game engine was our final project applying what we learned. Created using C++ and JUCE. The majority of my work dealt with graphics rendering in OpenGL, implementing basic audio triggering, and implementing the multi-threaded system.

See source code on GitHub

Features:

Drag-and-drop game editor with grid
Multi-threaded architechture: seperate graphics rendering and game logic threads
Basic enemy A.I.
2D physics
Audio triggering
Image texture loading
Level system with transitions

Depicts our 2D game-editor UI. In the center, the game world is shown while the left side of the screen list objects and game controls and the right side of the screen depicts an inspector that allows you to change settings or assign behaviors.
