sps-gamelib is a game engine powered by libgdx.

It aims to make developing for Lin/Mac/Win take as little time as possible.

Non-desktop platforms are not supported at this time.

New features and improvements to sps-gamelib are pulled from each Simple Path Studios game immediately following it's 1.0.0 release.

I strive to keep code reuse high between games to ease prototyping. That means projects can be thrown together quickly, but limits many configuration options.

Currently it provides:

• Command based input detection system
• Input agnostic player management
• Supports both keyboard chords and controllers for player input
• State handling architecture with isolated state components (Text, Audio, Graphics)
• Preloading framework, for both the engine itself and arbitrary states
• Autoloaded sprite animations
• Asset management (sound, music, graphics, game data, and user data)
• Music and Sound Effects players
• Entity management for centralized access to game objects
• Efficient text rendering and effects
• Easily editable and in-game configurable OpenGL vertex and fragment shaders
• Procedural texture generation (Perlin noise, radial gradients, linear gradients)
• Integrated tutorials
• In-game Tutorial, Pause Menu, and Exit Menu prompts
• User accessible control configuration menu
• User accessible player selection menu
• Default main menu system
• Deferred ordering on render calls
• Fixed and moveable rendering viewports
• Lightweight UI elements with straightforward styling
• On-the-fly font cache generation, no more ugly stretched and squished bitmap fonts
• Multifaceted timers
• Thread monitoring and game-freeze prevention
• Game save/load framework
• Immutable colors
• Color format translation
• Color manipulation
• Lightweight file and console logging
• Developer console with support for in-game commands
