* An event-bus system.
* 2D-rendering using DIKUCanvas which is based on Six Labors and SDL 2.0.
* A simple animation system.
* Timer for direct control over game loop FPS and UPS.
### Requested Features ###
* An audio engine for effects and music.
* Newtonian force functions for artificial gravity.
* More throrough unit-testing.
* GUI Framework.
### Development ###
DIKUArcade has been running stable since 2018, providing students in SU with a framework
on which to base their coding assignments.
DIKUArcade has been tested and trialed on all major desktop platforms, but if you do run
into a problem, find a bug, or wish for a feature to be added: Please feel free to post
an [issue](https://github.com/diku-dk/DIKUArcade/issues). Pull-requests are also welcome.
