OVERVIEW
Luna Game Library™ (LGL) is a 2D game library for PC's running Microsoft Windows® and uses Direct3D® for hardware accelerated rendering. It's robust, designed for easy use and suitable for making all types of 2D games and other graphic simulations.
You access the features from a simple and intuitive procedural API (Luna.API) to allow you to rapidly and efficiently develop your graphics simulations. There is support for buffers, textures, sprites, sound, archives, tweeting, IAP, databases, remote highscores, video playback and much more.
You can also use the thin, object oriented framework (Luna.Framework) to manage your game projects in a more structured, oop manner. You can define your game in terms of actors, where these actors live and are managed on an actor list. These actors can interact by sending messages and do collisions. All of this can be encapsulated into an application using the game class.
