React Game Kit
This is a game engine library for building interactive games using React and React Native components. It provides a centralized game loop and state management system to coordinate logic and updates on every game tick.
The framework includes a coordinate system for cross-platform scaling that distributes factors across a component tree to maintain consistent positioning across different screen sizes. It also features a sprite animation system for rendering sequential frames from sprite sheets and a tile map renderer that constructs multi-layered terrain using a tile atlas and grid-based indexes.
The library further integrates physics engine capabilities to manage gravity, collision detection, and the simulation of physical bodies within the game world.
Features
- React Native Game Frameworks - Implements a declarative component hierarchy for game elements using the React Native framework.
- Game Physics Integration - Provides a bridge for managing gravity, collisions, and physical bodies within a React component tree.
- 2D Physics Simulations - Adds gravity, collision detection, and physical body simulations to a React-based game world.
- Game Loops - Synchronizes a central timing mechanism that notifies subscribed components to execute logic on every game tick.
- Game Loop Managers - Coordinates a central timing mechanism for executing logic on every single game tick.
- Physics Simulation Engines - Integrates a dedicated physics simulator to manage gravity and collision detection for objects within the game world.
- Physics Simulations - Integrates a physics engine to manage gravity, collisions, and the creation of physical bodies within the game world.
- 2D Sprite Animations - Provides a system for rendering sequential frames from sprite sheets to create real-time 2D animations.
- Tile Map Renderers - Implements a renderer that constructs multi-layered game terrain using a tile atlas and grid-based indexing.
- Tile-Based Level Mapping - Constructs game environments by mapping numeric indexes to specific tiles from a predefined atlas.
- Adaptive Resolution Scaling - Calculates and distributes a scaling factor across a component tree to maintain consistent positioning across different screen sizes.
- Cross-Platform Layout Scaling - Ensures game elements and layouts maintain correct proportions and positions across different screen sizes and devices.
- Sprite Animations from Texture Atlases - Renders sequential image crops from a single atlas based on state-driven timing to create animations.
- Sprite Sheet Animation Playback - Renders sequential frames from a sprite sheet image to create animations based on defined states and frame rates.
- Resolution Scaling - Provides a coordinate system that distributes scaling factors to maintain consistent positioning across different screen sizes.
- Coordinate System Scaling - Provides a coordinate system that distributes scaling factors to maintain consistent game element positioning.
