Thread: Phoenix 2D Game Engine V1.0

  1. #1

    Phoenix 2D Game Engine V1.0

    I'm pleased to announce that version 1.0 of the Phoenix library is released!

    Phoenix is built to be cross platform (I only have the possibility to test in win32 through), cross compiler (FPC, Delphi 7 and Turbo delphi) using OpenGL for hardware accelerated rendering.

    Phoenix contains components for:
    • Cross platform screen handling using GLFW
      Blocking and threaded timer.
      Image loading and displaying.
      Animation
      Font rendering, can import from BMFont and Font Studio 4
      Sprite engine
      GUI controls
      Logging system
      Linear and cubic paths
      Input using mouse, joysticks and keyboard
      Resource and package system for one file distribution
      Sound enginge using OpenAL
      Delphi like canvas functions
      Collision engine with support for rotations and polygons
      Advanced particle engine with effects


    The engine comes with 14 demos showing some of the functionallity of the engine as well as editors for images, fonts, packages, gui and animations.

    Oh, and this code appears to be an approximate replacement for return(random() & 0x01);

    Excellent news, Andreas! I'll have to test it out in a little bit.

    Hi Andreaz :-)
    This looks great

    One small thing, I did notice that the screenshot of the sprite demo seems to have small rectangle (or line) artifacts around the enemy sprites (bottom and sometimes sides)...

    Is this just because of the screenshot taking, or is there a bug with the sprite drawing sometimes?

    cheers,
    Paul.

    It is antialiasing the blank pixels on the side of the image. Padding, or texture clamping can/will fix that. DirectX does it too, so it's library independent.

    Thanks Robert, that makes sense :-)

    Hmmm, now would be a good time for me to try to decide whether to use this one or Jedi SDL

    Phoenix 2D Game Engine V1.0

    Nice work so far. I checked out some of the demos and test apps.

    Most would compile using Lazarus without any setup what-so-ever, Bravo!

    Had issues with 2 demos though;

    - Fonts demo for Lazarus seemed to have messed up project files and wouldn't build.
    - Components demo compiled ok. It seemed to start up ok, but crashed and closed it's self shortly after starting up. Here is the log file generated:

    Once you've fixed these please let me know, I'm making up a small spotlight video of the library to show off on my PascalGameDev channel on YouTube. (Random impulse, and it required very little of my time. )


    Oh and I'd recommend that you also setup a small Font/GUI Skin repository for users of your library to contribute to and access openly. It might help build a little sub-community around the library. Plus it'll make new people to the library have more than zero options when trying out your components unit.

    There's a white border around every sprite in the spriteset, to make it easier to define the patterns in the editor, this is what's showing, and it's fixxed easilly by making thoose parts transparent.

    Lazarus is extreemly good to mess up project files in my experience, the font demo compiled and worked when i tested it yesterday.

    The fault in the components is harder throught, it seems that for some reason fpc reads something differently then delphi, the error that occurs is that a string read gets a length thats longer then the length of the streem. Wich ofc doesnt happen in delphi (meaning that the offset in the stream is wrong at that location)

    However once more I'm struck with the great thing that is lazarus, when stepping into
    Code:
    procedure TPHXContainer.LoadFromStream(Stream: TStream);
    the debugger crashes. Bah, sometimes i get the urge to unistall laz and fpc from my computer permanently :O

    I'll try to track down the gui error today, even throu it seems i have to log every component that's loaded via the console...

    Not that it's any work generating fonts using the included tools, but could create a few more (3 fonts in the various demos atm)
