PixelPerfectEngine
A retro 2D and pseudo-3D game engine written in D, focused on authentic pixel-perfect graphics and a lightweight footprint.
What is PixelPerfectEngine?
PixelPerfectEngine is a retro 2D and pseudo-3D game engine written in the D programming language. It solves common rendering issues in modern engines for retro games, such as floating-point rounding errors and unauthentic scaling, by rendering to a low-resolution framebuffer. The engine includes features like tile and sprite layers, a GUI subsystem, collision detection, and an audio subsystem for era-correct synthesis.
Game developers and hobbyists creating retro-style 2D or pseudo-3D games who need authentic pixel-perfect graphics and a lightweight engine. It's also suitable for those interested in learning game and software development with a focus on low-level graphics rendering.
Developers choose PixelPerfectEngine for its dedicated focus on pixel-accurate retro graphics, avoiding the bulk and rendering artifacts of repurposed 3D engines. Its permissive Boost Software License allows free commercial use without attribution, and its lightweight design enables deployment on low-powered devices like smartphones and single-board computers.
