Strype is a modern, early-stage 2D game engine built for pixel art, super-fast rendering, and rapid iteration.
Currently tested on Windows x64 and Ubuntu ARM64.

• Super quick rendering optimized for pixel art
• Robust agnostic renderer (OpenGL - Vulkan comming soon!)
• Intergrates with C# (with .NET / MSBuild)
• Multi-threaded windowing with ImGui

• Core & Runtime - Windows or Linux
• Editor - Windows only (DotNet/MSbuild)

To build the entire repository:

git clone https://github.com/JackJackStudios/Strype
cd Strype
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . -j4

To create a simple app in Strype:

#include <Strype.hpp>

using namespace Strype;

class TestSession : public Session
{
public:
    TestSession()
    {
        WindowProps.Title = "The Strype Engine";
        // Add other window props...
    }
};

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    Application(argc, argv)
        .NewSession<TestSession>()
        .Run();
}

Sessions are essentially containers for an OS window and Strype's Renderer class. Consider Application as a class responsible for the Event System and any global system required by other Sessions. Session's constructor is called on Application::NewSession<Strype::Session>(Args&&...) and should be used for configuration. All sessions are created and run exclusively on their own thread, if you want a startup function called on the actual thread use Session::OnAttach().

Strype’s goal is to create a developer and artist-friendly engine that integrates smoothly with professional tools, making game creation simpler compared to commercial engines.

• 2D rendering expansion (text, video, particles)
• Physics intergation and AABB collision
• More rendering API support (DirectX, Vulkan)
• Integration with tools like Aseprite, FMOD, and Steamworks
• Flexbox-style UI system
• Templates and packages
• Hot reloading
• Animation system
• Proper audio support
• Export finished games

• .github/workflows/ → Config file for automated testing
• Strype-Editor/ → Windows-only editor
• Strype-Runtime/ → Cross-platform runtime
• Strype/ → Core engine code
• CMakeLists.txt → Config file for Cmake
