Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following tools installed:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher
• An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse

Installation

To install and use this engine, you can make use of the starter-kit found here.

Usage

Input Management

The Input package provides classes for handling user input from different devices. Customize and extend these classes to fit your game's input requirements.

Serialization

The Serialization package includes classes for serializing and deserializing game objects. Use these classes to save and load game states efficiently.

Graphics Rendering

The Graphics package offers classes and utilities for advanced graphics rendering. Customize these to enhance the visual aspects of your game.

Game States

The States package manages various game states such as menus, gameplay, and pause states. Extend these classes to implement your game's state management logic.

Level Management

The Level package contains classes for managing game levels and related data. Use these classes to load, save, and manage levels in your game.
