DOME
A downloadable engine for Windows, macOS, and Linux
DOME is a framework for making 2D pixel-oriented games using the Wren programming language which can be played across platforms.
Features:
- No external dependancies: Everything you need to make your game is packaged into a single binary.
- Supports multiple platforms: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (with more planned).
- Canvas access, with a fantasy-console style API.
- Built-in support for PNG and JPEG graphics.
- Use the built-in 8x8 font or a TTF font of your choice for text.
- Hand-crafted audio engine with MP3, FLAC, OGG and WAV support.
- Simple file IO, with JSON support included!
- Scalable engine design, perfect for game jams, and expanding to larger projects over time.
- Supports keyboard, mouse and game pads with ease.
- Easy to hack and extend, as it's written in C99 code with native plugin support coming soon!
How do I start?
