SSGE is a simple game engine written in C. It is made on top of the SDL2 library. The engine is designed to be simple, lightweight and easy to use. It is not a full game engine, but rather a simple framework to build a game on top of.

• Simple object system
• Simple graphics / rendering system
• Event Handling
• Tilemap support
• Audio support
• Font and text rendering
• Fully compatible with SDL2
• and more ...

To use the engine, download the release and copy the files into your project. You will need to link against SSGE libraries. See example/makefile

The Linux version is built on Ubuntu 24.04. If you are using a different OS, you may need to rebuild the engine on your system. Ensure that you have installed the SDL2 library, along with SDL2_image, SDL2_mixer and SDL2_ttf, on your system.

You can use the shell.nix file.

Install the required libraries with:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev -yq

Install the required libraries with:

sudo pacman -Sq --noconfirm sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer

Install the required libraries with:

pacman -Sq --noconfirm mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_image mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_mixer mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_ttf

See example/src/tictactoe.c for an example of how to use the engine. You can also see the Minesweeper repo I made with this engine. (WARNING: SSGE version may be different)

Each functions and structures are documented in the source code. See the header files for more information. I will make a proper documentation later :/

• ⬛ Z-Axis Map
• ✅ Animation System
• ⬛ 9-slice
• ⬛ (maybe) Switch to SDL3
• ⬛ (maybe) Make a GUI (game engine)
