ObEngine is a free and open-source 2D game engine designed to make game development fun and accessible by combining a C++ core with powerful Lua scripting, providing both performance and ease of use. Built on top of the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML), the engine gives developers access to rendering, input, audio, and windowing systems while they write gameplay logic in Lua, a lightweight scripting language that simplifies interaction with game objects and behavior. ObEngine includes tools like a map editor, plugin system, and asset management features that streamline the creation of complex 2D games such as platformers, RPGs, racers, and visual novels without reinventing low-level systems. Its architecture encourages modularity, letting developers extend or customize engine features through plugins and scripting while still benefiting from the speed and control of native C++ performance.
