2D Game Engine in C++11

CrowEngine v3 (pre-alpha)

Version 3 of my custom game engine built on top of SDL2, using C++11. Currently, very early in development and not quite ready for use in production just yet.

Check out the v2 branch for the old version based on SFML/Allegro, no longer maintained or actively developed.

The design of the engine is very borrowed from SFML, although, it has nothing else to do with the library. Here are some differences:

	SFML	CrowEngine
Networking	Full HTTP/FTP support	TCP/UDP sockets only
Shaders	GLSL	Not supported
Assets	From file or custom	Built-in asset manager
GUI	No	Built-in GUI library and tile editor
Documentation	Well documented	Auto-generated only
Platforms	Desktop	Desktop, mobile, web, etc.

So why use something like this over SFML? Portability of SDL I guess.

Third-party dependencies

Third-party dependencies required to build/run the engine (included in the thirdparty directory):
