This looks nice. I'd like to try it out. Seems to be taking a sort of opposite approach to Polycode's maximalism. But if you're interested in this lib, I'd say, give Polycode a look over too. It runs and builds on OS X/Windows/Linux, and includes a built-in content IDE, and full lua integration, with a lua script editor built in the IDE— theoretically you can make whole games from within Polycode's IDE, but I personally prefer to work with it in raw C++, and use the IDE for creating and importing content for a game. https://github.com/ivansafrin/Polycode Polycode is currently lacking support for web, iOS, and Android, but it's on the roadmap. Anyway, nice engine you've got going! Gonna have to try out the demos and see how it works!
