\nThere are several sites out there where prolific programmers challenge themselves to release large numbers of games over very short periods of time, often as frequently as a new game every week, or every month.<\/p>\n

But you never get to see behind the curtain; see how the games are actually created and assembled, how they evolve on a day-to-day basis. Enter VectorStorm, a day by day chronicle of my game development activities.<\/p>\n

For the programmers out there, VectorStorm is designed to be a framework inside which one can quickly prototype games. By focusing on 2D games using simple vector graphics, VectorStorm tries to remove the “but I can’t draw” sticking point that stops so many capable programmers from ever attempting to make a game. Most games are open source, with code available under the GPLv3, and data files under licenses which permit non-commercial redistribution, and implemented using SDL and OpenGL.\u00a0 The engine itself is released under the terms of the zlib license, so feel free to use it for commercial\/proprietary purposes if you like. It will compile and run under Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or virtually any other operating system you’d like to throw at it.<\/p>\n

Check the links in the sidebar to pre-built binaries of VectorStorm releases, to its public Github repository, and to further news updates about its development. Hope you enjoy your time here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
