Simple 2D game engine to provide a base for 2D c++ games.

2D Game Engine Built With Allegro

This project is a 2D game engine built with the Allegro c++ library.

It is meant to be a starting platform to build and customize 2D games.

The engine uses Allegro to run through the game loop at a constant 60 fps independent of personal computer hardware.

The engine is ready to extend by adding classes to manage sprites and render them on the screen.

The Allegro API can be found here: Allegro API
