plutoengine

My hobby game engine. This repository unifies all my previous Pluto repositories.

Versioning

All submodules share a version number for simplicity reasons.

Since version 20.2.0.0-alpha.0, PlutoEngine uses a combined version of semantic versioning and calendar versioning, the first number denotes the year.

Therefore, the version format is always YY.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-prerelease.

Only major and year version changes will bring breaking API changes, except for pre-release versions, which may introduce breaking changes at any time. Pre-release versions will never increment the minor or patch version numbers.

Usability status of submodules

Safe submodules

  • PlutoCore - Stable
  • PlutoFrameBuffer - Stable
  • PlutoGUI - Stable, awaiting a rewrite
  • PlutoMesher - Stable
  • PlutoShader - Stable
  • PlutoSpritesheet - Stable, some features are unfinished
  • PlutoStatic - Stable, collision API nowhere near completition

Unstable submodules

  • PlutoAudio - Somewhat usable, unfinished
  • PlutoLib - Somewhat usable, requires further polish

Broken submodules, do NOT use

  • PlutoCommandParser - Unfinished, broken, unusable
  • PlutoDB - Broken, unusable
