Unlike the others that scrape around your post looking for a laugh I think it is great that you are starting a 2D game engine it is a great learning experience. I have been writing one since February and it is around 10 thousand lines of C++ and has lua integration for scripting behaviors and xml fo...

I have developed a very simple website over at http://ntengine.sf.net which will act as an information page and release platform for the engine and the game pack that we are using to test the engine. I encourage you to check it out, it is a hub for all the sources of activity within the project. You...

The project was featured on episode 193 of Noobtoob a weekly independent podcast about video games. We are having a big art recruitment drive at the moment and it has actually started to pay off we have got some really talented 2d artists. If you are interested please sign up to our mailing list ove...

SDL.

The C++ language does not come bundled with graphics / graphical user interface libraries by default (unlike say java). The idea is to use third party libraries to create such programs. For example if you wanted to create a 2D video game you could install the SDL library and read through that librar...

I love the idea. Indie game development is hard! Free art that help you turn your ideals into reality or at least help in that process is awesome! Great work.

Sourced: http://bwright.uberwolf.com/2010/07/07/unit-testing-in-video-games/ Unit testing is an “agile” or “extreme” programming methodology which has a lot of beneficial side effects for medium to large scale systems. For example when you modify a file in a 10(0*) thousand line code base wh...

Hehe yes very true. I will write a "proper" plugin (find and replace TMW with MyPluginName (lol) ) soon. Nice map editor very useful.

Goto->Source->Plugins->TMW then edit tmwplugin.cpp and find the write method and just use standard C++ io streams / C file IO to export.

Just implemented an exporter in it seems to work well.

Has anyone had any experience writing exporter plugins for the tiled editor over at http://www.mapeditor.org/ I was thinking of writing an exporter for my level format in it so I can release a level editor for the alpha build of a game / engine I am working on. It seems like a pretty viable option j...
