This is Zoomy Engine! A 3D Game/Engine hybrid designed to bridge the gap between play and creation for the current era.
I love playing games. I love making games. And I want other people to get the same kind of joy I do in the process of both play and creation. Making games is hard. If you've ever opened up a game engine you may have thought to yourself "where do I even begin?" and closed it. Or maybe you started working on a project and discovered there's waaaay more technical work involved than you bargained for.
What a game can do is offer a set of general purpose tools that streamline this process: collision, physics, assets, scripts, for example.
The game that does the absolute best job of this is Doom (1993). Doom is open-source, has a very straightforward format for making your own levels, and a very fun set of mechanics to build on top of. The problem is, it's over 30 years old, and comes with many limitations and hard-coded mechanics (necessary just to make the game run at the time) that make it a bit more difficult to work with than it could be. The Eternity Engine and GZDoom, both offshoots of the Doom engine, add many features to make it a more general purpose engine. They're both incredible projects, but suffer from the fact that they're building on top of an extremely old code-base.
That's where Zoomy Engine comes in. It's built from the ground up to have a set of general purpose mechanics that support any genre and an embedded scripting language (Lua) for game-specific mechanics.
The project is written entirely in the C99 standard to maximize portability.
The project is still in its early phases, so there's not much to see here.
Will add later.
You're more than welcome to submit pull requests, though its still too early for me to give people direction on how to contribute.
