nCine VS Arcade

ncJump source code: https://github.com/Fahien/ncJump ncJump Dev Logs: https://www.antoniocaggiano.eu/lab/ncjump-devlog/ nCine homepage: https://ncine.github.io/

I have integrated it a long time ago in my 2D game framework, you can have a look at the source code here: https://github.com/nCine/nCine

I have been coding mine for many years now. Fortunately it is still small enough that can be easily understood by one person. Have a look here: https://ncine.github.io/

It uses my 2D framework nCine, which I recently ported to Raspberry Pi. That's why there are so many supported platforms. ;)

nCine is a cross-platform 2D framework written in C++11 and scriptable with Lua that can be used for games, tools, or prototypes. I have been working on it in my spare time for more than ten years and it now works out-of-the-box on the latest version or Raspberry Pi OS!

I created this tool for game artists a while ago, with the hope of selling it and start an independent company about game development, tools, and game technology.

Unfortunately, it sold pretty much nothing so I'm back to the game industry as an employee while I decided to make it FOSS. :D

It is written in C++ using my game framework nCine (https://ncine.github.io/) and ImGui, and it supports multiple platforms, like PC, Android, and the web.

Devlogs as a GitHub discussion

If you would like to know more about my project, or the engine I am using, you can start from this GitHub discussion.

I work on a Python game engine called Arcade[1] and other projects within it's Github organization such as pytiled-parser. We also help to drive continued development and improvement within Pyglet[2]. Recently, my efforts have been focused on creating a version which can be run in web browsers by using Pyodide and WebGL[3], though that is still fairly early stages.

Arcade's primary focus is on being an educational tool for beginner programmers, so my hope is that with browser compatibility we can lower the barrier to entry further and make it more accessible and easy to get started with. In a similar vein to the goals of browser compatibility, we've recently enabled full compatibility with Raspberry Pi through the use of OpenGL ES(and this was largely only possible thanks to the huge amount of work that everyone involved in the Mesa project puts in)

I'm not the original author of Arcade, but I am a current maintainer and put a substantial amount of time into it and it's community.

Interesting, looks like some of the default fonts are not getting frozen as part of the executable? I opened an issue: https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/issues/1252

Added clear method to UIManager (#1116)

Arcade can now run in headless mode on linux servers opening more possibilities for users in for example the data science community (#1107). See Headless Arcade for more information.

Fixed issue #978, copy button in examples moved to the left to prevent it disappearing.
