MiniGL - small framework built on Gosu

By victords Date 2015-06-20 01:34

Hi!

I suppose it is time I introduce to you guys one of my (not so) recent projects. It is MiniGL ("minimal game library"), a game framework based on Gosu, i.e., something like Chingu, but smaller, and with different features (Chingu offers some things MiniGL doesn't, while the opposite is also true)...
Well, I've been working on it for about one year, and I hope you like it.

I'm looking forward to your feedback, suggestions, complaints, etc. =P

In the attachments, some screenshots of a game I'm building with it.

Thanks, jlnr, for making these projects possible!

I'm doing something similar: https://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?tid=834
Sort of framework with useful things like methods for loading and storing images or GUI (which proved to be very useful BTW). But my code isn't... um... written to neatly and it's a bit outdated.

Wow, nice! =)
Your project provides many similar features as mine, and some more... =P
However, the physics module in my project provides not only collision detection, but also response (i.e., you can try to move an object, it detects a collision and automatically stops, instead of intersecting the other object). Also, the UI controls (buttons, text fields, etc.) are a bit more customizable.
Anyway, I really liked it. Have you considered making a gem out of it?

Regards

I wasn't going to make a gem for it. I have to clear most of the code and add some comments to make using/customizing it easier. Actually, I have rewritten the core code, but it's not updated yet.

In Response to ?
