A downloadable lightweight engine for Windows and Linux

An entire 2D Platformer engine made entirely in C with OpenGL code, made to support older hardware, going as far as Pentium; Taking up as little space as possible.

The screenshot is proof of the engine working on genuine Pentium 4 Hardware with 1 Gigabyte of RAM

Some of my games will be made in this engine, using as little resources as possible to ensure the game is available to everyone (...That is a Windows User, for now; I will make a Mac OS and Linux build some other time)


Minimum Requirements for playing :

  • Must have at least 32 Megabytes of RAM available before running
  • Recommended to use a CPU newer than Pentium; As i haven't tested out older CPUs yet
  • Can run on any Windows OS between 1998 and today (Tested on Windows 98 SE; You may encounter slowdown on this version of Windows)
  • Tested on NVIDIA GS 7100 with no issues, anything newer than that should work

For Linux users : the game can run on any Windows Compatibility Layer without any issues, as far as i'm aware;

Controls : Arrow keys to move

Any feedback would be appreciated on this Engine!
