AppCfg EnvVars A cross-platform 2D game engine. Contribute to nCine/nCine development by creating an account on GitHub.

I’ve added support for a bunch of environment variables that you can set to override any run-time value in your AppConfiguration.

Things like fullscreen mode, VSync, output audio frequency, the data path, the log file name, and much more.

Making Video Games in 2025 (without an engine) Thoughts, tools, and libraries I use to make games

I've been making video games in some form for 20 years, so I wrote an article about my process - and why I don't use an engine.

noelberry.ca/posts/making...

My framework as well was initially inspired by XNA. 😉

We aren't many left writing our own tech, best of luck with your search!

Nice article! I can really appreciate your point of view, being an engine and rendering programmer in the industry who has always worked with custom technologies. 😉

Since 2011 I've been working on the nCine, my open source cross-platform 2D game framework. 💪

Getting Started with C++ CLion A cross-platform 2D game engine. Contribute to nCine/nCine development by creating an account on GitHub.

Now that the @jetbrains.com CLion IDE is free for non-commercial use, there aren't any excuses left not to try it with the nCine game framework. 👌

More than 20 years of Linux in my case... 20 just with Arch. 😅

There was no meme back then, Arch wasn't trendy at all. 😂

My first thread on the #ArchLinux forum, exactly 20 years ago.
Still using it every day. ❤️

After many years without a change, an update to the nCine readme file was long overdue.
It should now be both nicer and clearer. What do you think?

Yesterday was just another hard day of #nCine development, but sipping coffee from this special mug can help.

For sure one of my favourite modern demoscene productions. ❤️

In a user scenario the framework was crashing because the sorting was too unbalanced. 🥲

Yes, LuaCATS definitions and the slightly different (sigh 🥲) LDoc documentation might really change things if you have a Lua API.

Just implemented introsort to handle quicksort corner cases and ensure smoother, more robust sorting of commands in nCine render queues! 🚀 #gamedev #cpp #rendering

A nice, and violent, game from an Italian indie developer, check it out!

Io ce l'ho già cartaceo dal day one. 🥳

Thanks, Gabriel! ☺️

YouTube video by nCine The new Lua development workflow with the nCine

The updated workflow includes autocomplete, type checking, full API documentation, and debugger support. #gamedev
