Programming games should not be about studying the inner workings of a hardware device or an operating system. AGen serves as an interface between the system hardware and your game. It allows you to focus entirely on game logic thanks to its simple and lightweight framework.
AGen is a cross-platform 2D engine and framework specifically designed for the easy and rapid development of games, game prototypes or other visual applications. AGen is completely Lua scripted and will allow you to make games with little overhead and without a compiler.
Here are some key features of "F.A.C.E.S. Collector's Edition":
100% scripted
Lua is an interpreted language used in many of the leading games on the market today. It is a simple yet a highly extendable language.
Lua extensions
AGen comes bundled with several Lua extensions for physics, pathfinding and networking.
Cross-platform
All of the Lua code is platform independent and will work with AGen distributions on both Windows and Mac OS systems.
Scene management
Create immense worlds without worrying about performance! Our engine incorporates a scene graph and hierarchical partitioning system which allows you to have maps containing loads of sprites at very little CPU cost.
NOTE: Use of the engine is free for non-commercial purposes. If you want to use AGen for commercial projects, you have to pay a one time fee.
Requirements:
· OS: Windows Vista/7
