SAFE

Simple C++ 2D game engine built over SDL.

Aiming for flexibility by using an Entity-Component-System architecture with Lua scripting support.

Prerequisites

(Note: Currently tested under Ubuntu with the GCC compiler.)

A C++14 compatible compiler.

It requires the following libraries to be installed:

• SDL2
• SDL2_image
• SDL2_ttf
• SDL2_gfx
• Box2D
• Lua5.2 (it would probably also work with Lua5.1)

The following libraries are already provided within this repository or at build time:

• Sol2 (/include/sol.hpp)
• jagt's pprint (/lua/pprint.lua)
• GoogleTest

Also, download this folder into the project folder. It contains some graphic assets.

Usage

Run CMake to generate build files and compile:

cmake .
make

Generate documentation files with Doxygen:

doxygen Doxyfile
