About

Keeshond is a 2D game engine with a focus on quickly bringing ideas onscreen.

Goals

  • Runs reasonably well on hardware from 2010
  • Deterministic game logic across systems, important for speedrunners
  • Implements features games need, without adding unneeded complexity
  • First-class Linux support via SDL2

Current features

  • Gameloop with fixed timestep synchronization
  • Custom-built ECS system designed for decoupled game/drawing logic
  • Basic keyboard input system
  • Fast sprite rendering (can draw close to 100k sprites at 60 FPS on a 2010 CPU and capable GPU)
  • Asset loading from the filesystem
  • Optional imgui integration

Features to come

  • Asset loading from .pk3 files
  • Audio system via OpenAL
  • Timeline framework, for choreographing animations, sequences, and more
  • Tilemaps
  • Collision engine via ncollide
  • Scene editor
