Emitter and Shadow

Our module supports 2D shadows. Users can create light objects that brighten the scene, and Renderables create shadow by blocking light. Our module provides an EmitterSource class that emits light, brightening the appropriate region. When a Renderable occupies a lit region, it creates an unlit region where a shadow would appear. Light regions are brightened, and unlit regions are darkened. Our module only supports one lighting model, PointEmitterSource, which emits light in all directions to a specified distance. Our module supports multiple PointEmitterSource objects and allows developers to specify color, luminosity, and range for each.

Terrain Geneation System

Our system provides a tile map to support random terrain generation with pre-defined shape and vegetation generation.

Quad Tree System

The Quad Tree system is designed to be used in lue of basic collision checking, rather than checking every object with every object that could possibly collide in the entire world space. You can just check objects nearby for collisions.

Grid System

Grid system API and utilities to support creation and integration of grids in games.

Object Groups

The GameObject hierarchy is designed to make linking GameObjects and their transforms together as simple as possible. It gives each GameObject the ability to set a single parent, and any number of children. The transforms of the children will reflect the changes made to the transforms of all parents, grandparents, etc. of that GameObject.

A* Search Support

Integration of path finding functionality into the game engine.

Dialog System

This is the dialogue module which will allow you to create a dialogue system in the game engine. The module will be able to display a series of dialogue scenes as described in a json file. The module will also allow you to create branching dialogue through the use of option buttons. You can customize the look of the dialogue and the options.
