Kiwano Game Engine

English | 简体中文

Introduction

Kiwano is a open-source 2D C++ game engine, only support win32 platform.

Kiwano-Core is a game irrelevant lib that provide a lot useful tools can be used in other projects. I made a lot wheels to make cpp simpler to use.

It's still under heavy developing. I write it and use it to developy my own tiny games.

You can move to Kiwano Demos repository to see how to use Kiwano to implement simple games.

More docs and examples will be added later.
