Build Status

Engine: jle

The engine is written in C++ 17 and currently runs OpenGL ES 3.0, OpenGL Core 3.3 or WebGL 2. It thus has the ability to build games targeting Windows, Mac and Linux, as well as modern browsers using WebAssembly via Emscripten.

The way of working in the engine is inspired by a mix of Unreal Engine and Unity, with scripting support in Lua.
