Mighter2d

Mighter2d is a scene-based game engine written in C++ for developing simple 2D games. It continues the development of my previous project, Infinite Motion Engine (IME) which was also designed for 2D game development. While Mighter2d features the same scene-based approach and feature set as IME, it completely removes support for rigid body physics. Mighter2d also provides a range of improvements and enhancements over IME, such as automatic updates and render of external instances making it a more simpler and user-friendly game engine.

Mighter2d is built on top of the SFML library for graphics rendering and the TGUI library for user interface components.

Features

• Graphics - Render window, grid, spritesheet based sprite animations, camera, etc...
• GUI - Label, button, checkbox, menu bar, panels, progress bar and much more
• Physics - Built-in grid based movement, grid path finding, grid cell based collisions, overlap collision detection/resolution with callbacks
• Input - Keyboard, Mouse and Joystick support
• Audio - Built-in audio support for music and Sound effects
• Event system - Thread safe event/messaging system
• Asset management - Automated resource management system for textures/images, audio, and fonts
• Scene management - Automated scene management (LIFO)
• Time - Schedule timers with one-time, repeating or indefinite execution using callbacks

Note that Mighter2d does not have an editor, therefore you'll have to manually setup your scenes in code.

Downloads

The latest official precompiled Mighter2d binaries can be downloaded here. To use the library you must have a supported C++17 compliant compiler (GCC or VC++). If you want to use a different version, you'll have to build the library yourself.

Installation

1. Using CMake

If you extracted Mighter2d to a location known to CMAKE, you don't have to set MIGHTER2D_DIR, CMake will automatically find the library

# Find Mighter2d
set(MIGHTER2D_DIR "path_to_Mighter2d_root_directory_here/lib/cmake/Mighter2d") # Skip if Mighter2d installed in known location
find_package(mighter2d 1.0.0 REQUIRED)

# Link Mighter2d
target_link_libraries(your_executable_name PRIVATE mighter2d)

# Example

set(MIGHTER2D_DIR "C:/users/kwena/desktop/Mighter2d-1.0.0/lib/cmake/Mighter2d") # Skip if Mighter2d installed in known location
find_package(mighter2d 1.0.0 REQUIRED)

target_link_libraries(Pacman PRIVATE mighter2d)

Note:

After successfully building your game executable, copy the contents of Mighter2d/bin folder to the folder in which your game executable resides. If your current BUILD_TYPE is Debug, then copy the contents of Mighter2d/bin/Debug and if it's Release, then copy the contents of Mighter2d/bin/Release. You must also copy the contents of Mighter2d/bin/Runtime regardless of the build type.

Build

If you want to use Mighter2d with a different compiler, then you must build it yourself:

1. Clone the repository

2. Download and Install CMake 3.17+

3. Download and install IME's dependencies: SFML 2.5.1, TGUI 0.9.3
   The dependencies must have a matching compiler and architecture (e.g, If you intend to build IME with
   GCC MinGW 11.2.0 (32-bit), then SFML and TGUI binaries must all be compiled with GCC MinGW 11.2.0 (32-bit)
   

4. Run the following commands from the project root directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
