BooBoo is a fun new programming language with a powerful game API.
The API includes:
- Basic graphics and shape drawing
- Image loading and drawing in a variety of ways
- Sprites with automatically handled animation and lots of useful sprite features
- Tilemap loading and drawing as well as other useful tilemap features like pathfinding
- Fonts
- OpenGL shaders
- Audio samples and a full musical composition language with samples/generators
- Joystick, keyboard and mouse support
- JSON loading
- Configuration/save state support
And a lot more!
BooBoo is an interpreted language, so all you need is the interpreter to launch your source files. You supply optional run, draw and end functions and the engine takes care of the rest!
