SDL Game Engine

The SDL Game Engine (or SGE in short) is a high level multi platform 2d 
game engine. It is current in a very basic state and API calls may or 
may not change in the future. SGE is work in progress, so you should 
check the Sge2d Sourceforge page regularly.

Note: due to a name conflict the Sourceforge project is named sge2d

So why another 2D game engine you may ask, and the answer is easy: 
because I did not find one that fit my needs. This engine is geared 
towards multi platform developement and, differently than most engines, 
we do not treat "multiplatform" as linux, Mac and Windows only.

It runs on little and big endian systems and currently supports Linux, 
BSD, Windows (through mingw), gp2x crosscompilation (on Linux), 
Syllable, MorphOS and AmigaOS 4. For the near(er) future it is planned to also get it 
running (if not already) on AmigaOS 3, AROS, MacOSX and SkyOS. The 
porting should be easy, as these are its requirements:

- Low number of dependencies. It only requires C, SDL, SDL_image and 
SDL_mixer.
- Custom build system. Should be portable to any platform where make is 
available by copying a config file and (maybe) changing a bunch of 
variables.


The main features for now are:

- Game states
- Encrypted data files
- Pixel exact sprite collision
- Animated sprites supporting waypoints as a animation path
- Basic drawing functions
- Easy API and helpful macros to speed up development
