StarOpenSource Engine

The StarOpenSource Engine (or sos!engine for short) is a modular, extensible and easy to use Java game and application engine.

About

About the engine

The sos!engine is a modular and extensible framework for building applications and games, written in the Java programming language. The engine consists of various subsystems, each separate and responsible for only one thing. The engine also houses various useful utilities and classes making development fun, and all that while being lightweight.

About the repository

The sos!engine repository is a monorepo, consisting of the core engine, official subsystems and their documentation.

Priorities

  • modular
  • small & lightweight
  • fast
  • do one thing and do it well (subsystems concept)
  • have as few runtime dependencies as possible (note: we will cut down on some of them during development)

Documentation

The official documentation for the StarOpenSource Engine is not yet available, but is planned. You can however visit the Javadocs.

Contributing

Requirements

You need the following things to be able to contribute code to the StarOpenSource Engine:

  • knowledge of Java
  • knowledge about the internals of engine

What IDE to use?

We use and recommend using IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition for development because it is flexible, extendable, customizable, provides good completions and error detection. It's also open source.

Code style

We recommend looking at existing classes.
