Cheetah is a new small cross-platform 2D graphics framework. With this engine you can easily create OpenGL applications, games and presentations. Currently Windows and Linux versions are supported.

Engine consists of: SDL, SDL_mixer, luajit, SOIL, lQuery.

It is as small, lightweight, fast and powerful as a cheetah:) Create your own games in a few lines of code. See our tutorials.

Features

• Cross-platform
• Open-source license
• VERY fast: optimized OpenGL performance, optimized lua code, fast object handling using scene graph
• Create games using Lua or C - there is absolutely freedom
• Powerful Lua framework - lQuery
• Scene graph, smooth animations with multiple easing functions, powerful event system, user interface through lQuery
• Easy bindings using LuaJIT's FFI
• OpenGL: VBO, Framebuffer, Shaders and so on
• JIT compiler for even more speed
• Modules: attach any dynamic libraries directly into Lua code
• Resource auto-loading, on-demand resource loader
• Sounds using SDL_mixer module
• Physics using Chipmunk module
• Own particle system with ability to apply particle forces
• Tiny image loader using SOIL library (may be replaced with DevIL)
• Image loader supports masks
