# JTPE

JTPEngine is a 2D C++ Game Engine.

Its goal is to provide an abstract, lightweight and cross-platform ready engine that uses only C++/std and JSON scripting.

This engine is designed for coders who want a starting point to create 2D apps and games without messing with major engines on the market.

# Modules and build examples:

JTPE is currently composed by several modules:

- File manager, including encrypted/decrytped loadings

- Easy task/thread manager

- Abstract 2D rendering with logic scale rendering

- Abstract Input manager

- Game save/load system

- GUI, (Animated) sprites, game levels JSON scripting.

- video player (currently using ffmpeg)

- audio player with 16 channels

- REST library to handle GET/POST requests easily and asynchronously

The GUI module is made to easily load complex screens composed by re-usable JSON modules.

The build example is a ready to use Windows port created for Visual Studio (2019).

The engine, with the due adaption work, can be ported to any platform.

# Installation: 

No CMake is provided. A common shared library of class is the center of the engine and a ready to use x64 Windows implementation can be downloaded and used right away.

# Roadmap:

JTPE has a set Milestone to reach its alpha state once several major features will be released.

The next big things will be:

- porting to OGLES/OGL (getting rid of SDL and other third parties libraries)

- Particles integration

- Simple game example uploaded

# Contributing:

Any help of any kind will be apprieciated, feel free to contribute and contact me for any question.

# Credits: 

JTPE engine was developed by Fabio Corrirossi.

JTPE engine is an abstract layer and the current Windows implementation is based on the following libraries:

- JSON for Modern C++ by Niels Lohmann .

- SDL2 https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

- FFMPEG https://www.ffmpeg.org/

- Steamworks SDK (https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk)

- SDL_mixer https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/

- LIBCURL https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ and CURLPP http://www.curlpp.org/

The rights to use those libraries remain on their owners licenses.

My goal is to use implementation using only GNU/MIT or other popular OpenSource libraries, to keep JTPE really free to use.

# License:

JTPE is under the MIT license (see License file).

So, it is really free to use/change/re-distribute as you want.

Feel free to drop me a message if you want to use for any legit kind of projects.
