LEngine

A lua Lightweight Game Engine made with C++ for easy development.

Build

If you want to build it from source:

Requirements: -> CMake -> C++

Supported For now LEngine only works on linux. And it also works on Windows but it contains bugs.

Steps:

1. Clone the repo (git clone)
2. cmake -B build
3. cmake --build build

Usage

To use this simple engine with lua you will need to compile the project or download a release. After you have that just run the executable file it will create a init.lua in there you can put your own code in the functions update and start and close. You can use the basic functions Refrence Lua.

Configurations

You can configure this engine easily by running it with an conf as argument.

Example on linux: el conf

Example on windows: el.exe conf

Some config attributes:

name : string

fps : int

Examples of a config.lua file:

    conf = {
        name = "Game",
        fps = 60,
    }
