FIFE
FIFE is the Flexible Isometric Free Engine (FIFE).
The aim of the FIFE project is to create a cross platform
2D game creation framework. Games can be created with combination of
engine, editor tools, game specific scripts and game content (e.g.
maps, graphics and sounds). A game engine generally provides
graphics rendering, editors (map, GUI, animation, etc), virtual
filesystem support, path finding and possibly AI, collision detection,
physics simulation, audio support, effects (using things such as
particle engines), game object and camera management (possibly through
a scene graph), and 2D/3D maths.
Features include:
Graphics:
- Support for formats implemented by SDL_image
- Support for the FRM image format (used in Fallout 1
& 2)
- Palette color index override system for transparency effects
- Support for the Fallout palette format
- Take ingame screenshots via hotkey
- Pooling of image resources, resulting enhanced performance
and reduced memory consumption
- Animations:
- Custom FIFE XML-based animation format (can be used with
all image formats)
- Fallout palette animations
- Effects: Several possible effects (e.g. fading in/out of
instances)
- Render: Support for different renderers
- Blocking
- Camzone
- Cell selection
- Coordinate
- Floating text
- Grid
- Instance
- Quadtree
- Free Choice:
- Resolution
- Bit-depth (16, 24 32bit)
- Window mode (full screen and windowed)
- Define separate camera specifc viewpoints with different
rotations, zooms and tilts
Editor tools:
- Basic map editor tool
- Deleting instances from map layer
- Placing instances on map layer
- Undo/Redo support for instances
Event handling:
- Support for the following event types, can be bind to
scripting functionality:
- Mouse events
- Keyboard events
- Widget events
- Custom commands
Scripting:
- Python-bases scripting system
- Scripts can be executed from the console
- Potential support for other scripting languages
