Mini2DEngine was my first foray into C++ in game development. I believe that developing games without an engine is one of the best ways to learn a new language, and decided to create a rudimentary 2D game engine to practice the core components of C++, such as memory-management.

Mini2DEngine manages object lifespans, levels, the basic game loop, object interaction, encapsulation, sprites, text and keyboard and mouse I/O. This allows the creation of simple games such as the Asteroids recreation I producing using the engine. There are many possibilities for expansion, but for now it is finished.

Core systems were designed based on the Gamemaker engine, and it uses a library called Simple Dynamic media Layer (SDL) to streamline complex processes.
