Flare-Game Engine

Flare (Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine) is a simple game engine built to
handle a very specific kind of game: single-player 2D action RPGs. Flare is not
a reimplementation of an existing game or engine. It is a tribute to and
exploration of the action RPG genre.

Rather than building a very abstract, robust game engine, the goal of this
project is to build several real games and harvest an engine from the common,
reusable code.

The Flare engine, which is purely a runtime, is written in C++.

Flare uses simple file formats (INI-style config files) for most of the game
data, allowing anyone to easily modify game contents. Open formats are preferred
(png, ogg). For creating maps, we also support Tiled with the Flare plugin.

Originally the first game to be developed using this engine was part of this
repository. As the engine became mature, the game content was moved to an extra
repository and is now called flare-game. (happened around sept. 2012)
