The EAG engine offers
- ASCII graphics libraries
- Physics engines
- Keyboard listeners
- Database & Sound
capabilities.
The ASCII graphics library provides a function that displays objects on the screen and draws simple shapes (lines, squares, circles, etc.) This function allows the user to draw simple shapes in the console window. Due to the nature of the game engine, it is not focused on a single genre of games and is made applicable to many games.
The physical engine provides the ability to consider physical interactions such as rigidbody and collision for objects, as in Unity. For example, you can use a collision to make enemies disappear when they are hit by a bullet, and adjust velocity to make objects move.
The keyboard listener is implemented as a thread and can receive input from multiple keys simultaneously, and can be entered into various states, such as once pressed and pressed.
Additional convenience features include support for databases to record information and store information needed to implement the game, and support for sound-related functions to play custom music, etc.
