Oak

A pure Go game engine

Installation

go get -u github.com/oakmound/oak/...

On linux, for audio, see klangsynthese for audio installation requirements

Usage

This is an example of the most basic oak program:

oak.AddScene("firstScene",
    // Initialization function
    func(prevScene string, inData interface{}) {}, 
    // Loop to continue or stop current scene
    func()bool{return true}, 
    // Exit to transition to next scene
    func()(nextScene string, result *oak.SceneResult){return "firstScene", nil}) 
oak.Init("firstScene")

See the examples folder for longer demos.

Motivation

The initial version of oak was made to support Oakmound Studio's game, Agent Blue and was developed in parallel. Oak supports Windows with no dependencies and Linux with limited audio dependencies. We hope that users will be able to make great pure Go games with oak and welcome improvements.

Because Oak wants to have as few dependencies as possible, Oak does not use OpenGL or GLFW. We're open to adding support for these in the future for performance gains, but we always want an alternative that requires zero or near-zero dependencies. (We are very sad about the linux audio dependency and are considering writing an audio driver just to get rid of it.)

Overview

Package oak is a game engine. It provides scene control, control over windows and what is drawn to them, propagates regular events to evaluate game logic, and so on.

Constants

const (
	// DefaultSeed is a key int64 sent in to SeedRNG
	// used to indicate that the seed function should just
	// do the default operation for seeding, using the current
	// time.
	DefaultSeed = iota
)

Variables

var (

	// ScreenWidth is the width of the screen
	ScreenWidth int
	// ScreenHeight is the height of the screen
	ScreenHeight int

	// FrameRate is the current logical frame rate.
	// Changing this won't directly effect frame rate, that
	// requires changing the LogicTicker, but it will take
	// effect next scene
	FrameRate int

	// DrawFrameRate is the unused equivalent to FrameRate
	DrawFrameRate int

	// CurrentScene is the scene currently running in oak
	CurrentScene string
)

var (

	// DrawTicker is an unused parallel to LogicTicker to set the draw framerate
	DrawTicker *timing.DynamicTicker
)

var (

	// LoadingR is a renderable that is displayed during loading screens.
	LoadingR render.Renderable
)

var (
	// LogicTicker is exposed so that games can manually change the speed
	// at which EnterFrame events are produced
	LogicTicker *timing.DynamicTicker
)

var (

Functions

func AddCommand

func AddCommand(s string, fn func([]string))

AddCommand adds a console command to call fn when 'c <s> <args>' is input to the console

func AddScene

func AddScene(name string, start SceneStart, loop SceneUpdate, end SceneEnd) error

AddScene adds a scene with the given name and functions to the scene map

func BindKey

func BindKey(key string, binding string)

BindKey binds a name to be triggered when this key is triggered

func ChangeWindow

func ChangeWindow(width, height int)

ChangeWindow sets the width and height of the game window. But it doesn't.

func FramesElapsed

func FramesElapsed() int

FramesElapsed returns the number of logical frames that have been processed in the current scene. This value is also passed in to all EnterFrame bindings.

func GetKeyBind

func GetKeyBind(key string) string

GetKeyBind returns either whatever name has been bound to a key or the key if nothing has been bound to it.

func GetScreen

func GetScreen() *image.RGBA

GetScreen returns the current screen as an rgba buffer

func Init

func Init(firstScene string)

Init initializes the oak engine. It spawns off an event loop of several goroutines and loops through scenes after initialization.

IsDown returns whether a key is held down

func IsHeld

func IsHeld(key string) (k bool, d time.Duration)

func SetScreen

func SetScreen(x, y int)

SetScreen sends a signal to the draw loop to set the viewport to be at x,y
