The simple lightweight 2D framework to make console games easier
- Create a
Console App (.NET Framework)project in your IDE - Download or compile the Console-Game-Engine repository
- Add references to the
WindowsBase.dllandConsoleGameEngine.dllassemblies
- Create a main game class and inherit it from the GameCore class:
using ConsoleGameEngine.Core.GameSystems.DefaultSystem;
or
using ConsoleGameEngine.Core.GameSystems.ECS;
// Note: see the examples below for understanding the game systems
...
class Game1 : GameCore {
public Game1 : base(width: 32, height: 32, name: "Game1") { }
}- Run the game from Program.cs:
class Program {
[STAThread] // That's important
static void Main(string[] args) {
var game = new Game1();
game.Run();
}
}The default system is a MonoGame-like game system
using ConsoleGameEngine.Core.GameSystems.DefaultSystem;
...
class Game1 : GameCore {
public Game1 : base(width: 32, height: 32, name: "Game1") { }
Point playerPosition;
ConsoleTexture playerTexture;
protected override void Initialize() {
string[] textureData = new[] {
" # ",
"###",
"# #"
};
playerTexture = new ConsoleTexture(textureData);
playerTexture.Normalize();
base.Initialize();
}
protected override void Update() {
if (Input.IsKeyDown(Key.Right)) {
playerPosition.X++;
}
if (Input.IsKeyDown(Key.Left)) {
playerPosition.X--;
}
base.Update();
}
protected override void Draw() {
Graphics.Clear(' ');
Graphics.Draw(playerTexture, playerPosition);
base.Draw();
}
}The ECS (Entity-Component-System) is an extended game system with greater flexibility
using ConsoleGameEngine.Core.GameSystems.ECS;
...
class Game1 : GameCore {
public Game1 : base(width: 32, height: 32, name: "Game1") { }
Entity player;
protected override void Initialize() {
player = new Entity();
Scene.AddEntity(player);
string[] textureData = new[] {
" # ",
"###",
"# #"
};
var playerTexture = new ConsoleTexture(textureData);
playerTexture.Normalize();
var playerSprite = new Sprite(playerTexture);
player.AddComponent(playerSprite);
base.Initialize();
}
protected override void Update() {
if (Input.IsKeyDown(Key.Right)) {
player.Transform.Position += new Point(1, 0);
}
if (Input.IsKeyDown(Key.Left)) {
player.Transform.Position += new Point(-1, 0);
}
base.Update();
}
