# Meteor 2D ![Meteor 2D](https://imgbkt-rgon.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/meteor64.png)  

Meteor is a lightweight 2D game engine designed for simplicity and flexibility in C++. Built on top of SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer), it provides a clean and intuitive API for game development.

![Meteor wip](https://github.com/vishnurajendran/Meteor2D/blob/main/meteor_in_action.png)

## Features

- **Simple API:** Get started quickly with an easy-to-use C++ API.

- **Extensible:** Customize Meteor2D to the needs of your project.

- **Lightweight:** Focus on essential features for nimble game development.

## Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

    ```bash

    git clone https://github.com/vishnurajendran/Meteor2D.git

    ```

2. Include the Meteor header in your C++ project.
