Tilengine

List of new features and updates since the last post in IndieDB. Current release is 1.10

• Project hosted on GiHub, with loaders and windowing modules released as open source: Github.com
• Added 16 bpp RGB565 target surface in addition to the original 32 bpp XRGB
• Raspbian platform: official OS in the Raspberry Pi
• Android platform: partial support, it lacks the built-in windowing because it uses SDL on the other platforms. The application must provide the rendering surface and user input. For the ARMv7A architecture (hardware floating point)
• Bindings for the following languages: Python, Java, C# .NET/Mono and Pascal
• Implemented optional pixel-accurate sprite collision detection
• Added error handling and recovery
• Added blending to affine transformed layers
• Added new active rendering API without using callbacks for the raster effects, to ease writing some bindings. The original method is supported too.
• Added functions to modify tilesets and tilemaps at runtime
• Better sprite-tilemap collision info
• New formats supported by the Spriteset loader
• New blending modes
• New tileset-based animation sequencer
• Graphic assets can be located in its own directory, they no longer need to be located in the same directory as the executable
