Machina Engine - Game Engine

Finally, the collision detection was finished.
And, most of the code to display the maps(multi-layered by the way) is completed.

I'm implementing a code to delivery alarms(like in game maker).

I have made a fluxogram explaining how the data-files and resource-files work::



Features:

• A data-file can point to more than one resource-file, also can point to a resource-file already pointed by another data-file;
• A data file can point to another data-file, this way, the game engine can also load into memory the pointed data-file;
• The previous feature allows the use of many data-files. A main data-file is created, and it point to the others data-files;
• While data-files store information, the resource-files store files itself;
• Data-files can be created and loaded at run-time. So, they can be used as *.sav files. You cound store information of an object, or a entire may, for example.

Screenshot of MEMaker(The previous game editor was discarded) loading a picture:

Look that in the field "Stored In" the developer can tell in which resource-file("ResFile" in this case) the picture will be stored. But, as you can see, the picture("PTileset001") information is inside the data-file "MainData".

... Now I'm working on the room-editor(the most important part of this game editor, of course).

Also, I'm using FreeGLUT. I wasn't before, but FreeGLUT provides me a easy way to make this game engine cross-platform.
