🕹️ Minimalist 2D Game Engine in C using SDL2
Open-source, lightweight, and built for clarity, speed, and simplicity.

Tiny Engine is a compact and extensible 2D game engine written in modern C++, using SDL2 as its foundation.
It was created to offer a clean and minimal alternative for indie developers, prototypes, and learning projects.

Its goal: No frills, just a simple and functional game loop.

• 2D rendering via SDL2
• Simple game loop with fixed timestep
• Sprite rendering and animation
• Input handling (keyboard/mouse)
• Asset loading (images, fonts)
• Scene management and entity loop
• Minimal external dependencies

• C++17 compiler (GCC, Clang, MSVC)
• SDL2 development libraries
• SDL_image
• SDL_ttf
• CMake 3.15+
