LionEngine - The Web Site

Setup library

Steps to include the LionEngine in your project:

• Install at least the Java JDK 6
• Install the Android SDK 4.0 (only if you use lionengine-core-android)
• Choose your favorite IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans...)
• Download the latest LionEngine
• Include all LionEngine libraries you need for your project, following the tree dependency:

  • lionengine-core (minimum requirement)

    • lionengine-core-awt (required if you use AWT as graphic renderer, target for computer)
    • lionengine-core-swt (required if you use SWT as graphic renderer, target for computer)
    • lionengine-core-android (required if you use Android 4.0, target for phones)
    • lionengine-game (base for game development)
    • lionengine-network (support for network)
    • lionengine-audio-wav (support for Wav sound)
    • lionengine-audio-midi (support for Midi musics)
    • lionengine-audio-sc68 (support for Sc68 Atari musics)
    • lionengine-audio-adplug (support for LDS musics)

• Join (if you want) the javadoc for each library
• You are now ready to use the LionEngine in your project

Getting Started

Once you installed the LionEngine in your project, you may would like to know how to prepare a quick sample as a first try.

• Main class

• • Using lionengine-core-awt or lionengine-core-swt

    package com.b3dgs.sample;
    
    import com.b3dgs.lionengine.Config;
    import com.b3dgs.lionengine.LionEngineException;
    import com.b3dgs.lionengine.core.awt.EngineAwt;
    import com.b3dgs.lionengine.core.sequence.Loader;
    
    public final class AppSamplePc
    {
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
            EngineAwt.start("Sample Project", Version.create(0, 1, 0), AppSamplePc.class);
            Loader.start(Config.windowed(Scene.NATIVE.get2x()), Scene.class);
        }
    }
    

  • Using lionengine-core-android

    package com.b3dgs.sample.android;
    
    import android.os.Bundle;
    
    import com.b3dgs.lionengine.Config;
    import com.b3dgs.lionengine.core.android.ActivityGame;
    import com.b3dgs.lionengine.core.android.EngineAndroid;
    import com.b3dgs.lionengine.core.sequence.Loader;
    import com.b3dgs.sample.Constant;
    import com.b3dgs.sample.Scene;
    
    public final class ActivitySample extends ActivityGame
    {
        @Override
        protected void start(Bundle bundle)
        {
            EngineAndroid.start("Sample Project", Version.create(0, 1, 0), this);
            Loader.start(Config.fullscreen(Scene.NATIVE), Scene.class);
        }
    }
    

• Minimal sequence

  package com.b3dgs.sample;
  
  import com.b3dgs.lionengine.Context;
  import com.b3dgs.lionengine.Resolution;
  import com.b3dgs.lionengine.core.Engine;
  import com.b3dgs.lionengine.core.sequence.Loader;
  import com.b3dgs.lionengine.core.sequence.Sequence;
  import com.b3dgs.lionengine.graphic.Graphic;
  import com.b3dgs.lionengine.io.awt.Keyboard;
  
  public class Scene extends Sequence
  {
      public static final Resolution NATIVE = new Resolution(240, 400, 60);
  
      public Scene(Context context)
      {
          super(context, NATIVE);
      }
  
      @Override
      public void load()
      {
          // Load
      }
  
      @Override
      public void update(double extrp)
      {
          // Update
      }
  
      @Override
      public void render(Graphic g)
      {
          // Render
      }
  }
