Features

Module	What it does
Graphics	Advanced rendering for stunning visuals
Audio	Full sound & music management
Input	Flexible handling for keyboards, mice, controllers
Physics	Built-in physics for realistic interactions
Camera	Intuitive, dynamic scene controls
Timer	High-precision loops & animation timing
Random	Robust RNG for unpredictability
Resources	Efficient asset management (fonts, music, textures)

Installation

To get started with the Tensai Engine, follow these simple steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/neoapps-dev/tensai.git
   cd tensai

2. Install Node.js dependencies:

   npm install

   This command will automatically compile the native C++ addon using node-gyp.

Usage

Here's a minimal example demonstrating how to set up and run a basic Tensai application:

const { Tensai } = require('./index.js');

// Initialize the Tensai engine with a window title, width, height, and fullscreen/vsync options
const tensai = Tensai("My Tensai App", 800, 600, false, true);

// Define the load function (optional, for asset loading)
tensai.load = () => {
  console.log("App assets loaded!");
  // Load your textures, sounds, fonts here
};

// Define the update function (called every frame for game logic)
tensai.update = (dt) => {
  // dt is the delta time (time elapsed since last frame) in seconds
  // console.log(`Updating with delta time: ${dt.toFixed(4)}s`);
  // Update game state, handle input, etc.
};

// Define the draw function (called every frame for rendering)
tensai.draw = () => {
  // Clear the screen with a background color (e.g., dark blue)
  tensai.clear(20, 25, 40);

  // Draw your game objects here
  tensai.setColor(255, 255, 255);
  tensai.drawText("Hello, Tensai!", 10, 10);
};

// Start the Tensai engine game loop
tensai.run();

console.log("Tensai application started. Check the window!");

This example initializes a window, sets up basic load, update, and draw functions, and starts the engine loop. For a more comprehensive demonstration of the engine's capabilities, please refer to the examples section.

Examples

The test/test.js file serves as a runnable example showcasing various features of the Tensai Engine, including graphics rendering, input handling, sound, music, and particle effects.

To run this example, navigate to the project root and execute:

node test/test.js

Note: This example may require the assets located in the assets/ directory to run correctly.

Building

The C++ addon is automatically built when you run npm install. This process is orchestrated by node-gyp using the binding.gyp configuration.

For manual rebuilding, you can use:

node-gyp rebuild

Prerequisites: Ensure you have the necessary build tools installed for your operating system:

• Windows: Visual Studio (with C++ build tools)
• macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
• GNU/Linux: build-essential package (or equivalent)
