Following list presents high level overview of engine features grouped by module:

• Animation
  • 2D sprite animation - animation based on sequence of sprites
• Audio
  • Basic sound playback - play sounds, pause or stop sound playback
• Core
  • Entity-Component architecture - scene consist of entities of which behavior and functionality is defined by attached components
  • Define your game logic in components or systems depending on your needs
  • Scene serialization
  • Support for coroutine programming model - easily implement functions executed over multiple frames
• Input
  • Keyboard - read keyboard state
  • Mouse - read mouse state
  • Input binding and mapping - bind input devices to actions and axes
• Physics
  • 2D collision shapes - use rectangle or circle colliders to define static and kinematic bodies
  • Tile based collision geometry - define static level geometry as rectangular tiles in a grid
  • 2D collision detection - use kinematic bodies to get information about overlapping entities
  • 2D collision resolution - use kinematic bodies to simulate collision impact and avoid overlap
• Rendering
  • 2D primitives rendering - render rectangles and ellipses
  • 2D sprite rendering - render sprites
  • 2D text rendering - render text with support for basic layout (wrapping, clipping, alignment)
  • 2D camera support - control what part of scene is visible on the screen
