What is ORX?
Orx is a portable, data-driven 2D game engine designed to simplify game development with a focus on ease of use and powerful features. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for rendering, animation, physics, input, and sound, all driven by a flexible configuration system. The engine solves the problem of rapid iteration and cross-platform deployment by allowing developers to define game logic and assets through data rather than hardcoded logic.
Game developers and hobbyists creating 2D games who value a data-driven workflow and need cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, macOS, Web, Android, and iOS.
Developers choose Orx for its heavily data-driven design, which enables fast iteration with hotloading and config-driven scripting, combined with a rich feature set and permissive zlib license for commercial use.
