Alpha Engine Complete

I have completed everything necessary to consider the Swift engine to be in a solid alpha stage. I will now shift my focus from developing the engine primarily to developing a game on the engine. As I discover features I wish the engine had, I will add them to the engine.

The other thing I’ll be doing as I develop a game on the engine is keeping track of how I do things, so that I can write some posts about how to use the engine. Ideally, the engine will be complete enough and simple enough to use that other game developers can pick it up quickly. The goal of this project is to create an engine to facilitate rapid game development, so I am hoping that once the first game is complete on this engine, new games will be easy to create.

If you’re interested in using the engine, check out the GitHub repository and play with it for yourself!
