crown-engine

Lightweight and flexible cross-platform game engine.

I'm an independent developer and your contributions are invaluable to me. If you like the work I do, please consider supporting Crown development by means of a small contribution. I'm also available for hire to work on or with Crown or somewhat related technologies/projects.

##What is it?

It is a general purpose data-driven game engine, written from scratch with a minimalistic and data-oriented design philosophy in mind.

It is loosely inspired by Bitsquid (now Stingray) engine and its design principles; the current Lua API is similar to that of Bitsquid but this engine is not meant to be its clone nor to be API compatible with it.

##Supported platforms

• Android (14+, ARM)
• Linux
• Windows

##Documentation
