Are you programming 2d games ? If yes, what engine(s) / lib(s)

LÖVE is good

I used LÖVE to try out Lua. It was pretty great and they have a very friendly community on IRC.

>>57279734
have you finished some games with it already ??

>>57279762
can agree !

>>57279785
one

>>57279452
Pure js

>>57279946
hey that's actually looking great !
Didn't know you could code game in pure js; how is it ?

>>57280042
Just like coding in any other language that lets you draw images pixels and lines

>>57279452
What languages does this engine use?

>>57280127
Lua and it's a joy to play with it ! ( https://love2d.org/ )

>>57280226
I tried to build a model implementing a neural net and ackerman steering on a highway to train drivers. It is a capable engine for sure, very fun to work with

>>57279452
I'd probably just use MonoGame

work has turned me into a C# monkey and it supports a gazillion platforms so why not

>>57280465
Is MonoGame as good as XNA was before Microsoft dropped its support ?

>>57279452
Bullet if i need physics

OpenGL
GLFW

Thats all you need for 2D aside from smaller stuff for loading inages easily

>>57279452
SDL and C
and Python.

>>57281161
Are you using Pygame when coding game with Python ??

>>57281220
I was using pygame, but I'm disappointed with the slow development and failire to adopt SDL 2. The version of pygame i used in 2013 is still the newest version available. I don't like the "pythonic" interface to PySDL2.

>>57279452
Unity because I like my games just I like my streets: shitty.

C++ GLFW glew glmath

>>57281267
Yeah I think the same thing and I find it really strange that we can't have a fine 2D graphic lib in such a beautiful language. Anyway, another reason why I don't like programming with Python/Pygame is the distribution problem. Distributing a python program plus a library to people with absolutly no knowledge in computing is such an annoyance ...

Good to see some love for löve
And for lua generally

SFML (C++) plus LuaBridge for some Lua scripting

>>57282274
I tried SFML and really loved it! Too bad i'm not good at all with C++

>>57283183
>>57282274
How does SFML compare to SDL and/or OpenGL?

Like, any particular features that make it worth looking into?
I've been a bit iffy on the idea since it's C++ as opposed to C.

The best thing about LÖVE is distributing your game, it's retardedly simple and platform agnostic. Lua is pretty cool, not my favourite language, but cool. Banged out a few weekend projects with it.

LÖVE is great

>>57281267
PySDL2 is great too
if you don't like pythonic wrappers just use the straight SDL2 bindings

real men use C + SDL2 ofcourse

>>57283721
How so? I distributed .exe and osx packages for mine and a love file for Linux people which was a bit of a pain but there are tools to automate packaging it up for you.
Ran into some issues a while ago when the version of love I was using was way newer than the one in Ubuntu repos so people couldn't run my game.

I made a Flappy Bird clone in libGDX. It was the first framework I used to program (still beginning, I'm in uni taking Computer Engineering and all my programming has involved using the default libs of Java and Haskell) and I found it quite nice.

>>57283490
You can easily find these informations on Google but what I can say is that if I ever wanted to make a 2D game with C++, i'd only go with SFML and I don't think i'd be lacking some features etc...

Also, there is an official C binding maintained by the creator of SFML himself :)

Pixi.js if I want to make 2D games.

I've used Allegro and SDL for 2d. They've both worked fine for me

I haven't made anything in a long time, but I used to use LOVE and was fairly happy with it.

I don't think my genes allow me to
