Egret Core
egret-core is a cross-platform game engine and mobile application framework used to develop 2D and 3D software for Android, iOS, and Windows. It serves as a multi-platform graphics engine and input handler designed to maintain consistent visual output and interaction behavior across different hardware.
The project provides a game physics and animation suite that integrates external libraries for skeletal animations, particle systems, and complex physics simulations. It utilizes a hardware-abstraction layer to standardize touch, keyboard, and mouse interactions across multiple operating systems.
The framework includes a unified graphics pipeline for rendering two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements, alongside tools for graphical user interface construction. It also features a resource management system for controlling the loading and lifecycle of audio files and textures.
Project initialization is supported via a command-line utility that generates directory structures from predefined application templates.
