Fiber2D

Fiber2D

This project originated as cocos2d-objc rewrite to Swift. As I stopped commiting to the repo since June, because Obj-C is dead for me.

This is still in a very alpha state, but you already can build some games with it, even though it may be unpleasant process as I change API almost every day. The project served as .dylib (.so on Linux/Android) that builds by Swift Package Manager. It requires some project config in order to use it, but you can experiment with the demo provided in the repo. Generally the project should be considered unstable and most of the API is likely to be changed.

Basement

We worked hard before starting this project and it relies on several self-made libs we made:

• SwiftMath (@s1ddok, @stuartcarnie)
• SwiftBGFX (@stuartcarnie)

Thanks to them we currently have:

• Ultra fast cross-platform math lib, that works with SIMD on Darwin platforms and has self-implemnted algorithms to run on Glibc based environment. Not speaking of zero ARC impact and modern swifty syntax features.
• Modern agnostic renderer, which works with following list of backends out of the box:
  • Direct3D 9, 11, 12
  • Metal
  • OpenGL 2.1, 3.1+, ES 2, ES 3.1
  • WebGL 1.0, 2.0

What it looks like?

Currently this repo only contains demos for Linux, Android, iOS and macOS. macOS demo can use both MetalKit and SDL. iOS demo only supports MetalKit for now and can be easily ported to tvOS. Linux and Android demos can only be compiled with SDL, hence only GL rendering backend is available.

You can get the idea from this GIF:

Goals (updated 29 DEC 2016)

My goals for the near future are (order means nothing):

• Port to Windows
• Introduce basic UI components (Button, Slider, Label)
• Introduce GPU computed Particle systems
• Drop the concept of contentScale and use one set of assets for all screen resolutions
• Add support for more asset format loading from .jpg to .pvr
• Add easy post-processing mechanism

We have a trello which I will try to maintain soon.

Build

macOS

1. Clone

   $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/s1ddok/Fiber2D.git

2. Call helper script, that will do all the preparation stuff for you.

   cd external/SwiftBGFX/3rdparty/bgfx
   make osx-debug64 
   

3. Generate XCode project

   cd ../../../../
   make xcodeproj-macos
   

4. Open XCode project, compile and run. You should see the demo yourself.

iOS

1. Clone, build bgfx for iOS
2. make xcodeproj-ios
3. Open demo XCode project, drag Fiber2D-iOS.xcodeproj somewhere in System/iOS group (just for reasonable structure).
4. Go to Project Settings -> Fiber2D-demo-iOS Target settings. Add all frameworks from Fiber2D-iOS to Embedded binaries: Double check that the same binaries appear in Target dependencies section of Build Phases.
5. Compile and run

Contributors

• @stuartcarnie did initial setup of the bgfx renderer along with general support on how to use it
• @gonzalolarralde helped with Android port of libDispatch/libFoundation and Fiber2D itself.
