FROG

For Really Outstanding Games, a C++ framework for game development, based on Laurent Gomila's SFML.
FROG is free, open-source, and easy to use.

Overview

• Abstract and modular: FROG is generic enough to be used in as many games genre as possible. It is provided in separated modules, users can choose features they need.
• Game loop (scenario): handling the general process of computing and rendering among different scenes, considering the frame lag.
• Resources: smart assets managment, avoiding to load the same file twice.
• Easy inputs: FROG supports keyboard, mouse and up to 8 joysticks. You can define buttons and actions very easily.
• Rendering: sprites, text, animations, are simple to define.
• Physics: a simple physic engine is provided, allowing to apply forces. In case you don't need powerful physics.
• Collision: famous algorithm Sweep And Prune is provided as collision detection handler.

Coming soon

• Tile maps (format Tiled)
• Network facilities and lag compensation
• Light / Shadows (not sure)
• Basic AI (not sure)

Installation

Linux

$ cd src
$ make
$ make install

Manual

FROG is based on Scenes. A Scene is composed by GameObjects that can be customised by adding Component. Several components are already provided, such as graphics, physics... You can learn more thanks to the tutorials and the online API.
