hx3d Framework

Summary

hx3d was a easy to use and easy to learn open-source 2D/3D game framework, made

in modern C++ (C++14 at the time).

Inspiration was taken from the well-known libGDX Java game framework, and

many tutorials about game engine programming.

It was written with modularity in mind. Windowing was done using SDL2, but

it could be swapped with something else quite easily.

Rendering was done using OpenGL 3+ / OpenGLES 2.0

Cross-platform support was done thanks to SDL2 (it was also compatible with

Android and iOS!).

Last commit was made in September 2016, I decided to stop the project, and

focus on already existing open-source engines (notably Godot Engine),

keeping the newfound experience from game engine building for my future games.

At the time, I wanted to go full speed in "handmade" game development, even

knowing the famous citation "make games, not engine", and I started my crazy

challenge of making my own game engine.

I really liked modern C++ (11/14+), and with my experience in OpenGL and SDL, I

decided to create a somewhat modular system with standard features, taking

inspiration from the libGDX game framework.

At the end, I had a "screen" system, touchscreen support, particle systems,

animations, tweens, audio management with automatic BPM detection, a custom 2D

physics engine, a custom Entity-Component-System (ECS), and even more things.
