Defold
Defold est un moteur de jeu multiplateforme et un environnement de développement intégré utilisé pour créer des jeux 2D et 3D pour desktop, mobile et web. Il combine un IDE de développement de jeu pour la gestion des assets et des scènes avec un système de build multiplateforme et un environnement de script basé sur Lua.
Le moteur inclut un runtime headless spécialisé pour héberger des serveurs de jeu et effectuer des tests automatisés sans interface graphique. Il prend en charge les extensions de moteur natives, permettant d'intégrer du code bas niveau personnalisé dans le cœur pour étendre les fonctionnalités au-delà de l'interface de script standard.
L'ensemble d'outils couvre l'automatisation du build de jeu pour la distribution sur des plateformes telles que Steam et l'Epic Games Store, ainsi que l'empaquetage d'assets et la gestion de la localisation de projet. Les capacités de développement incluent le débogage de jeu en temps réel avec des mises à jour d'état en direct, l'analyse de la taille du build et les tests de fumée automatisés.
Features
- Game Development Frameworks - Provides a high-performance framework for building and deploying games across desktop, mobile, and web platforms from one codebase.
- Cross-Platform Build Systems - Provides automated build configurations for compiling a single codebase across multiple operating systems and hardware architectures.
- Game Development IDEs - Ships an integrated editor for managing game assets, scene composition, and project configuration in one environment.
- Multi-Platform Export Tools - Provides utilities for packaging and exporting game projects to native mobile devices and web browsers.
- Native Engine Extensions - Supports native engine extensions that allow custom low-level C++ code to be integrated into the core engine functionality.
- Headless Servers - Implements dedicated game server instances that operate without a graphical interface for server-side logic and match management.
- Binary Cross-Compilation - Compiles source assets and scripts into native executable binaries for mobile, desktop, and web platforms.
- Lua Game - Uses an embedded Lua interpreter for runtime game logic scripting with support for hot-reloading.
- Live Configuration Updates - Updates code and assets in a running instance immediately without requiring a full application restart.
- Headless Execution Environments - Provides a mode for running the engine without a graphical interface for server-side logic and automated testing.
- Hot Code Reloading - Allows updating application logic and assets in a running environment without requiring a full process restart.
- Asset Packagers - Provides tools for bundling game textures and sounds into optimized portable archives to reduce disk footprint.
- Game Build Packaging - Bundles game assets and executables into platform-specific distributable files.
- Cross-Platform Game Compilation - Includes a toolchain for building native binaries across multiple platforms from a single source codebase.
- Game Asset Management - Implements systems for creating and tracking internal engine resources like textures and sounds within a resource manager.
- Game Build Automation - Provides automated compilation and upload processes for distributing game binaries to platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store.
- Real-time State Debugging - Enables inspecting and modifying game object properties and state in real time during live execution via an interactive console.
- Native Engine Extensions - Enables the integration of low-level C++ code to provide specialized functionality beyond the Lua scripting interface.
- Headless Runtimes - Includes a specialized runtime mode that executes engine logic without a graphical interface for servers and testing.
- Smoke Testing - Verifies software stability by executing key event sequences while monitoring logs and capturing screenshots.
- Game Development Engines - Free engine for developing desktop, mobile, and web games.
- Game Engines - Open-source engine optimized for cross-platform 2D game development.
